Question 2004 has no balance shaft?

so i was just wondering if anybody knows if the 2004 your model (look at sig) has a balance shaft because ford couldn't find a balance shaft chain at all. they did a vin specific search and nothing came up with balance shaft. did they get rid of them in 2004?

I can't see your dig because I'm in the app, but the 4.0 with 4x4 had a balance shaft, and the 4x2 didn't.

I have the same issue. Failed TC on c a 2004.

FYI: The best way to use these forums is by responding to the threads you create. You started another thread and never returned.
