[QUOTE="Matt Chamberlain, post: 1047922, member: 74713"] Update. I cannot in good faith suggest that anyone install manual tensioners from a RAZR or whatever in your sport trac. Hahaha. I am now driving a 2013 Ridgeline :-( The 2300 RPM noise was the main chain (recently replaced tensioner blew up) and in the photo, you can see that basically everything got jammed up and the front jack shaft bolt broke and all Hell broke loose. I am not certain of the chain of events, no pun intended. But i had adjusted out those manual tensioners about 1/8in farther than the stock ones sit at rest, so those chains were very stretched. - I may have overstressed them by overtensioning them as well. Either way, please do like the fellahs above did and just take the time and money to replace the tensioners with OEM preemptively. :-( [/QUOTE]
