    Lol, I wasn't trying to get you paranoid about the tensioner bolt, I was trying to get you paranoid about the main sprocket bolts that hold the cam sprockets in place!

    Gotta figure I got it all correct. Put 300+ miles on it by now and 600 mile trip 1 way to ECGS tomorrow to get elockers fixed. They won't initiate even though I got voltage and no one around here to work on them. Just barely under warranty so time to get last major glitch fixed.

    It’s probably out of sync.

    Figure I didnt run them enough to keep them operable. Run the 4wd at least once a month and figure I need to do the same with the lockers.

    @Shadowhunter
    Did some searches but didnt come up with anything specific to synch issues and my Harrop elockers. Can you give me a basic rundown of what it entails? Want to be prepared with some info befor I see ECGS tomorrow. Would appreciate it!
    Thanks,

    Maybe keep this thread related to the cam gears? That way if someone is looking for info, they don’t have to go thru pages of unrelated info?

    Sorry I thought you were talking about a rear Toyota Locker. I haven’t had the pleasure of having to mess with a Harrop, just ARB’s and OEM lockers.

    Just got back from test driving the install of the -3 degree cam gears and Anderson Engineering intake manifold spacer I did. Very solid. My truck is heavy. 33s (96 lbs each corner), 4.56s and steel armor. Can't tell you if there are any changes to mpg at this time. Throttle response was improved. Will be looking at going to a 70mm throttle body soon before I get the ECU tuned.

    Save your money. Ditched mine after lots of research and personal experience. Change spark plugs, clean MAF and air filter just before ECU tune.

    The throttle body spacer or are they referring to a larger throttle body?

    Anyone have issues with starting their trucks in cold weather? Or has had timing issues?

    Just got cam gear and manifold spacer installed by gio (tacosupreme). Idk if it's just me but the stutter i had when accelerating from full stop is gone and seems a lot smoother on take off. Was able to get 100+ miles in on my way back to San Diego. So far so good. Will try and update after a few fill ups!
