Drives just fine and I'm generally happy with it except that I noticed a drive train whine a few days after the purchase. I think most of the 4. The engine option is now changed to the 4. The mechanic had started turning the plug in a couple of turns and then must have forgot to tighten it. Is it a concern on all V6's? And how do the timiybelts hold on these things? Safety upgrades for 2004 included a roll-sensing feature for the , a , and an optional rear system. My guess is that the bearings would still soldier on for another thousand miles at least. Below is a photo of the timing as it came in, belt removed.
I've read other threads that mention similar issues but nothing specific unless I can't find the thread. The truck has had various other repairs and suspension components replaced over the years. Never in any accidents, aside from my wife knocking the drivers side mirror off in 2010. The rear wiper was hidden under the rear spoiler, and while the tailgate remained side-opening, a flip-up glass panel was added. The truck has the original book, 4 original keys that all work.
Is it a concern on all V6's? All fluids have been changed with full synthetic. There is a grease fitting designed to allow lubricate the plunging and extending motion, but even with sufficient grease the motion can stick. However, the folding third row was tight with only 610 mm 24 in of legroom. This is my personal vehicle. Took a look at this valve today.
How'd you like that title? When you're test driving, make sure you start the engine when it's cold, immediately roll the windows down, put it in drive, and give it a good amount of gas. If we could go back in time and speak with Henry Ford, he'd probably share with us. The only thing I noticed was the usual valvetrain noise similar on both sides of the engine. So, I don't really see it as a negative. Clean Title fully paid title in hand. Payment Methods: Cash In Person , certified check, bank transfer, or 3rd-party financing. I washed the truck weekly, waxed it every 3 months, used rust preventative spray on the undercarriage every 6 months.
If you have any suggestions to improve our overall business and business tactics we hope to hear from you!!! I had to replace that. Power came from a 4. Parts needed for the job: two bearings and two seals. There will be a sticker somewhere in the engine compartment if it was. When s tarting a vehicle after a long period of sitting still like in the morning before work , the oil pump has more work to do than normal. This truck has had wool covers on all the seats since it had 200 miles on it.
This is a challenge because the engine mounts need to be removed in order to access the lower securing studs as well as the general rustiness of the bolts. The light is on because the computer picked the code up. You also need to remove the little speed sensor wire from the hub. The hot metal of the exhaust and engine will clink and tink as it cools down. Try to get a 2006-2009 if you can, they updated the diff supports in 2006.
The issue most commonly is from the rear driveshaft. You can go for a complete alignment, or do as I do and use two long straight sticks and two bricks. I see most of these trucks driving around with 100k miles or better on their differential fluids. It has every factory option available, including Navigation, Mark Levinson sound, third row seating, ect. The brakes and tires were installed about 20k miles ago. Hydraulic lifter s tend to make noise when they can't sufficiently pump up with oil due to sludge and build up blocking the oil inlet passage.
I'm happy to pick you up at Ohare Airport, or assist with shipping insofar as I have a Central Dispatch account. Hope this will help you out. They are best described as hydraulic cushions. If I had noticed it during first initial test drive I wouldn't buy it. I found that one of the spark plugs was loose almost to the point of falling out. I can't even seem to find them at the junkyards around me.
The truck has never seen snow insofar as it was used exclusively at our summer home. A loose spark plug creates the same kind of ticking noise. This car has great torque, an actual low-gearing gear box, beautiful interior, and is extremely reliable. Hence, the interior looks like a 200 mile truck. I will have to get some o-rings and give it a try. Negotiations may hinder the warranty being offered with the price and will require a purchase of warranty from our sponsored Warranty Companies we work with.
The two vehicles shared a common platform, mechanicals, and bodyworks; therefore they have common basic dimensions. This is more of a rattle noise than a complete knock. The truck, aside from a few typical nicks in the paint. Hopefully it hasn't gone on long enough to have a grinding effect. Sep 19, 2013 Ticking sound could be coming from a Coil-on-Plug, or a pcv valve, or hope it's not a valve lifter which could be sticking.
