Hi folks,
Been having some issues with a mild rattle in my Ranger.
Its an '05 so supposedly past the chain guide years.
I replaced the front and right side tensioners with cloyes units. The right side seemed ok although it still made a mild noise.
I replaced the front with the same and the tensioner was faulty. It made a wild noise on startup and wouldn't pressurize.
I put a Ford part in and its back to quiet again. The front guides looks great after taking off the timing cover, but I'm wondering if this mild noise is a soft right hand tensioner.
I've heard good things about clouds, maybe they just don't like the 4.0?
Any thoughts? The noise is at 2500 rpm as usual but is very faint now.
