Hi all! I'm picking up my Black 2010 Sport Trac XLT 4.0 later today, it's got a measly 93k on the clock!
I'm part of the FB group, too, and already have a quote on an aluminum thermostat housing to get replaced. While I'm there, I think I'll replace the timing chain tensioners since the thermostat housing will be completely removed and they'll be easy to get at.
Questions ----
- Does anyone have the OEM P/N's for the tensioners themselves?
- There's (2) in total, one up top by thermostat, one in the rear that I can access from passenger inner tire?
- do these need to be "primed" before installation? I did some coilover installs and always pushed the coil down repeatedly a few times until the pressure was consistent, prior to install.
- What else needs to be done prior to install on tensioners? Do they need to be filled with anything, or just priming?
Any thoughts/tips welcome, I'm looking forward to this ownership and will post pictures when I get the truck!
