## Description

Ford 7U3Z-6K254-B TENSIONER - Tim

Review: OEM - This is a Real OEM item. I had to return it because it took too long to receive. We sold the truck before it arrived.
Review: Installed easily - It's exactly the same as the original. I purchased Motorcraft because it's the same as the original. The installation was easy. I recommend priming the part with oil before installing and making sure you replace the old gasket with a new one. The old one is a one-time use. If you hear a rattle replace both front and rear tensioners as soon as you can. You don't want the timing chain to move around and break the chain guide which would be an expensive job to fix. This is a common maintenance item on Ford 4.0L B6 engines. I just got a job with Ford and I can confirm that what I'm saying is correct.
