Ford saw fit to put the 4.0 SOHC in Explorers and Rangers for many years and even Mustangs. Can the problem be so bad? From the forum and Wiki you would think it is inevitable for every engine. If this were so, how could the engine and the Rangers with the 4.0 SOHC have been so successful?
I'd love to know how many of the 4.0 SOHC's have gone the distance without a TC problem and what the chances are for any particular, well cared for, engine to make it. I think I appreciate the need for oil changes, and I think well cared for would be full synthetic oil at 5,000 mile intervals.
I'm certainly hoping that mine makes it!
