Reading this newsgroup as well as an Explorer forum makes it seem that the SOHC V6 has real problems with cam chain tensioners and noise that are expensive to repair. I am thinking of a newer Explorer or a Toyota 4Runner (2004-2007). But the cam chain issue has me scared. Am I being overly concerned? Does the 4.6 V8 SOHC also have the same issues? Thanks for any advice.
