[QUOTE="Dean Hedin, post: 1030138, member: 57230"] Well Ed, my only addition is to mention priming the tensioners before installing them. That is someone else who posted the youtube videos. I tried your "crank before start" and I like it. Definitely gets rid of the initial growl at start. Sound advice, especially if the truck had been sitting a while. I think that, in the end, this is just a symptom of the wear on the guides and eventually the worse will come. But from where I am at presently that won't be for a least another few years. [/QUOTE]
