Detailed Description

Use Dayco KTC1389 when servicing the timing chain system on compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury engines. This timing chain kit is listed across multiple truck, SUV, van, and passenger car platforms, including Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis applications. Because sprockets are not included, verify the condition of the existing sprockets before beginning the repair.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Reasons

• Rattling or chain noise from the front of the engine
• Timing chain stretch found during teardown
• Camshaft and crankshaft timing concerns
• High-mileage valve train service on Ford V8 platforms
• Replacement during engine reseal or major front cover repair

Installation Notes

Confirm engine code, timing marks, and component condition before installation. Since sprockets are not included, inspect the existing sprockets for wear, hooked teeth, or damage and replace them if needed. Follow factory service procedures for timing alignment and tensioner setup on the specific Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury application.

Quality Assurance

Dayco is a recognized name in engine drive components, and KTC1389 is cataloged for direct-fit service on the listed applications. Always verify fitment by year, make, model, and engine configuration before ordering.
