Just took my Boss over to Fud to pick up his Truck. He had it in for a
few warranty items and asked about a funny noise He was getting in the
engine compartment during shifts.
They changed his camshaft sprockets for free under TSB 04-15-04 and
the noise is gone. Seems there is a loosening of the sprocket that
causes this funny chatter....
I'm not Pi$$ed yet, but I could be pretty easily. Explorers get free
camwork, why not US?

Don't they sell more Explorers in a couple of months than the total number
of SHOs ever?

Ron hit it on the head. It's all about taking care of the cash cow. With ~20k SHO produced we are less than a pimple on their collective a$$e$.

Eric how did he get it free? it is only covered if the vehicle is still under the warranty.

He had 4000 miles left on his warranty, 71k on the truck, and took the
truck in for a couple little picky things and asked them to run the
TSB's on it for Him. This was one of his complaints - "A Rattling
noise from engine compartment on accelleration mainly hear in second
gear around 2400 rpms"
Dealer's Responseon the Paperwork -
"Cause: Replace Camshaft Sprockets Per TSB 04-15-04"
He got a new tensioner too.
huh.
