Frequently Asked Questions
Is the notorious 4.0L timing chain issue covered in this manual?
Yes. The 4.0L SOHC V6 in the 2006-2010 Explorer is well known for premature timing chain tensioner and cassette wear. This manual includes the full engine timing section with step-by-step chain replacement procedures, tensioner specifications, and torque values required to complete the repair correctly.
Does this manual cover the Explorer Sport Trac on the same platform?
Yes. The Explorer Sport Trac sold during this generation shares the U251 platform with the standard Explorer, and this manual covers both body styles. Chassis, drivetrain, and electrical procedures apply across both variants.
Are 4WD and AdvanceTrac system repairs included?
Full coverage is provided for both the Control Trac and AdvanceTrac four-wheel-drive systems, including transfer case service, shift-on-the-fly actuator diagnostics, front axle disconnect procedures, and electronic stability control calibration.
