Procharger Stage II HO Tensioner (or not)

[schmeky]

Pulled off the interstate today and at the first red light, I noticed quite a bit of unusual noise at idle in the cabin.

Got home and checked, everything looks perfect, but right at the head unit/tensioner it sounds like a muffled box of rocks now.

I have the P1X with helical gears and I have always had the barely there, normal subdued mechanical sound of the head unit gears. Not any more, it's a different sound and a lot louder now.

Are the PC tensioners known to go out at less than 4K miles?

Had similar situation with mine.... was resonating through the whole car...driving me nuts.... the 3 allen bolts that attach the tensioner to the mounting bracket loosened up enough to cause the rattle....try tightening yours

Gregory347,

That was it

All 3 allen bolts went an additional 1/8 - 1/4 turn. It's back to quiet now.

Many, many thanks sir!!!!
