Question about balance shaft noise

Post by green02crew »

My truck just started making this noise. Is it vital to get it repaired or will it simply just make this annoying sound? Not a big deal to me if its just dealing with the sound. As long as it is limited to the sound and nothing is beginning to fail here.

Get used to the sound. No harm done.

Balance shaft tensioner kit-the noise is gone!
