    Timing chain - advice - sigh

    Took of the bottom access, which can actually be removed without taking to much else. Left the pump and coolant hoses in place this time around. Just removed the cooling fan. A faulty aux tensioner is likely the culpritof the noise, the spring has jump out of the tensioner rendering it useless...

    Timing chain - advice - sigh

    On this topic, I did my tensioners pretty recently. Did not replace vvt's or chain just the tensioners and quides. Ran nice and quite for while. Now recently it started making racket. Only odd thing that leads me away from it being the timing chain issue is that it only happens when the truck...

    Timing chain - advice - sigh

    The slack in the chain seems reasonable, keep in mind that you want to check this a few times, depending on how the engine comes to rest it can cmhave artificial tension on the chain. Your engine sounds healthy to me. These engines are noisy at the best of time and although we often compare...

    Hey, You can upload your video to YouTube. Once uploaded you can share link via a post for us to review. A slight bit of play is normal. Before I did my chain depend on how the chain came trough rest when checking trough the oils odlter hole it had about 1/2 inch of play.

    Can you identify this electrical part?

    Thanks everyone, that makes sense. Rules out that it's soemthing I broke while working on replacing the blower. I suspect it had made it way down there, hopefully from a previous windshield replacement. I'll check out of the windshield is working if not, I will know why.

    Well the light turns on, however it's hard to tell if it's actually working. I wonder if it got ripped of when a window was replaced once upon a time and this part slowly found it way down there. I suspect that's not where the windshield get connected.

    Can you identify this electrical part?

    Yesterday I wanted to assess my issues with the front blower fan. It needs to be replaced, not really serviceble, I will have to order a new one. I'm that effort you have to remove the passenger kick cover and an access cover below the glove box. As I pulled the cover the piece pictured below...

    Auxiliary chain and sprocket change

    My tensioner is toast. It appears the spring either broke the area it presses on in the quides failed. The chain seems fine. I had created a piece of that is keeping pressure on there but knowing know that the bolt can physically be removed maybe one day I'll have to fix it properly.

    Auxiliary chain and sprocket change

    I was able to loose the bolt but couldn't remove it far enough to get it out. How did you manage to get it out?

    Auxiliary chain and sprocket change

    And a closeup of mine, me tensioner spring was broken an not keeping any tension on the chain. I build this contraption to keep pressure on the chain. So far so good.

    Auxiliary chain and sprocket change

    I can't see how you could. The torx bolt that secures the aux chain tensioner cannot be removed without removing the sump. It's pictured on the right bottom.

    Here's another 2 piece option that claims to fit the LR4. AliExpress

    Zip tie timing quide and tensioner replacement

    Good news - received all the remaining parts this week and bottomed it up. It runs nice a smooth, no chain noise, and no errors. Checked on the chain tension a few times trough the oil filler port and it's always nice and tight now.
