Folks:

(Sorry, just catching up on a weeks worth of digests, damn
work keeping me from the dml :)

I had a rattle in my V8 ('97 sport+, 5.2l). Turned out that the dealer
replaced 'timing chain sprockets & TENSIONER with REVISED timing chain
sprockets
and TENSIONER'

So, either I got screwed on the cost (i'd have to dig up the sheet) and I
don't
actually have a tensioner, or there is a TSB out for the v8's also.

The tensioner is just a V6 item. Why??? I couldn't tell you. I looked
into it when I replaced mine on my V8. They don't offer a kit or upgrade of
any type for this. The engines are virtually the same, why the tensioner is
only applied to the V6 makes no sense to me. The dealerships couldn't tell
me why either.
