122,000 Miles and the noise on start up, cold, has been identified as the cam chain tension (Plunger) which is leaving slack in the chain for about 2-3 seconds on cold starting.
Wanting to know if anyone has experience with this specific issue, has it proved fatal in part or whole to engine failure and has anyone repaired this? Please.
Any details from the board would be much appreciated. Please.
This is an earlier build 2007 and I do like the truck but I am anxious that I might lose the motor in the future as this may have been contributing. Lastly, oil analysis should reveal plastics from the tensioner and or metals from the chain drive, sprocket etc.
Peace to all
