Browsed for years, thought I'd finally sign up here.
Think I can force fit this sprocket in there? Timing mark is a little off, but that doesn't matter right? Nor the extra set of teeth?
So yeah, I'm pretty sure that sprocket is not going to work in this.
Seems my luck always nets me damaged or the wrong parts.
My radiator has been leaking for a while, and timing chain cover / water pump was always a little damp, but after doing some other work to the truck after it being parked a few months, the radiator started pouring coolant at the end cap, same for the timing cover, upper passenger side looked to be leaking pretty bad. Not sure specs for timing chain, but it seems pretty stretched, so likely good to swap it out.
Parts got here the other day, finally got the timing cover off today, and noticed the lower sprocket is wrong in the Cloyes C3218 kit I bought from Rockauto. Seems to have been put in the wrong box. The sprocket is an S869 when I need the S859. Couldn't seem to find a Motorcraft timing chain / sprockets, the Cloyes seemed about as close as I was going to get at Rockauto.
This truck is pretty beat up all around. 2001 Ranger 3.0 XLT / extended cab 2wd. I mainly use it to haul scrap metal / appliances / low speed. Is the last vehicle my dad bought second hand before he passed, so I just try to keep it going, though it was rough when my dad got it, even worse looking now. Any normal person would have junked this truck years ago, but I'll get a little more life out of it. It's got just shy of 208K on it currently.
Anyway, thought I'd post something after signing up, as I have a habit of signing up to some forums and never post anything. One reason I don't post much is I can usually find any repair info as I do some searching, so no need to ask anything.
