Does the 2000 E 350 have any major problems especially related to pistons?
They do seem to have a tendency toward "piston slap" until the engine is warm. That's where the bottom skirt of the piston wears a little and becomes small enough to rock a couple thousandths of an inch at the bottom of the stroke. When the piston rocks quickly it makes a sound that is characteristic of piston slap. That's the bad news. The good news is, the engine can run several hundred thousand miles with piston slap and as long as it goes away when the engine warms up... no problem. It's more of an annoyance than anything. But If you insist, you can have the engine rebuilt, spend a lot of money and MAYBE it will all clear up.

Why does your engine make a thumping sound when you accelerate?
Rings around one or more of the pistons have worn down to the point of letting the piston 'SLAP' around in the cylinder. So it is called 'piston slap'. It gets louder as the engine goes faster so you may not be able to hear it at idle. The only remedy I know if is a ring job. Otherwise you'll just have to drive slow and pour more and more oil into the engine between oil changes.

Can a piston skirt slap noise be mis-diagnosed as a timing chain tensioner or cassette guide noise on a 1998 Ford Explorer anf if so what do you advise other than replace pistons?
