FORD EXPLORER 4.0 ENGINE REPLACEMENT PART 1

  • In today's video we begin the process of removing and replacing the engine in my wife's 2008 Ford Explorer 4.0 sohc. In the previous video we found the timing chain had jumped timing due to a broken plastic guide and worn tensioner. After giving it plenty of thought, I decided it would be easier to just replace the entire engine assembly with a used motor. Follow along and join me in this adventure. Thanks for watching!

    UNBELIEVABLE! So if you needed to replace just the radiator you would have to recover the A/C in order to do so? So much for a simple inexpensive at home job... Now that's what I like, 0 thumbs down... (hope I didn't jinx it). Job well done! Thanks Eric.

    Looks like Ford does not want you to fix that engine. Way too many steps to get that out of the car. A dealership may have some shortcuts after doing it many times, but you would still have a huge labor bill.

      Mines at 198,000 miles and aside from basic repairs/maintenance, I’ve never had any major problems. Just do basic preventative care and repair things as they go out (which is not frequently), and you’ll have no problems with this vehicle. Still looks and runs the same as the first day I bought her. Never understood the hate for Explorers by some people.
