Potential timing chain issues were supposedly corrected by that year, but I've seen lots of reports that contradict that. I love the power the SOHC 4 liter makes but it's definitely been a problematic engine for Ford and for consumers. The timing systems on them are a nightmare. Mine is a ticking/rattling timebomb.

I poop in the furnace.
8,500 for a 15 year old ranger seems a bit on the high side to me but if you like it and you're happy who cares! :icon_thumby:
