Yeah no problem. Just so you know the vct kicks in when you get to full operating temp so that is why it will run good for 10 mins or so after letting it sit overnight or for 2 hours or so.

If you unplug them and they are not stuck open full oil pressure won't go to the advance port and the phaser stays locked.

I'd probably give it a few Kreen treatments before replacing them again. I don't trust MMO. Their reviews are shoddy. Kreen's reviews have always been good.

Sounds like putting LockOuts on your truck without the special tune.
