[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 991678, member: 61136"] I believe many members have replaced the cassettes and tensoners. Even with a small rattle on cold startup. Have close to 300K on their tracs. So I wouldnt call it a death rattle. If you replace the chains it does require pulling the motor, and the right chain alighnment tools. I wouldnt worry if it is not rattling. The chains dont break or stretch. the Hydralic tensoners wear out. [/QUOTE]
