Hi, my name is Mike. My family has a 2006 Expy XLT approaching 125k miles. Original everything except plugs @ 100k. I service it regularly at my dealer (sue me, I love them).
The last time it was in for service, the tech noted some noise from the timing chains. I have read on social media that the timing chains on this 5.4 Triton need early maintenance. What is the community's thoughts? Can I wait 12 months to replace the timing chains? It will take me 3 months to come up with the $3500 to do the chains anyway. Should I be treating this more urgently?
