Well I bought an 05 crew cab a few months ago and knew I had to tackle this so I'm getting ready to order parts. I've got chain slap and diesel sound. I got a good end deal on the truck that I felt like doing this work would be OK. after reading the numerous threads I'm now torn as to whether I should replace the phasers or do the lock outs. I've read stories of phaser noise coming back a few months after they've been replaced and I don't really want that, but I like the idea of the VCT system for power and efficiency. I changed out the solenoids, but I still have the diesel sound. can you guys help me with the best decision?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

 

change all parts with OEM and you most likely wont have a issue..

make sure you have good oil pressure.
