Wayne,

Very interesting letter full of revalations that seems to put to rest all of the 'rabid' detractors of the hydraulic update kits!

It also points out a not-so-minor oversight by the factory when they published the 'Parts and Technical Reference Catalog' ... there SHOULD BE a bulletin regading the update kit and proper installation of the tensioners! Somehow, I get the feeling the tensioner installation is just a bit more important than how to install a new alternator with internal regulator!

Now just how difficult would it have been for the mfr of those tensioners to put a sheet in seven languages with the proper installation procedure? I guess when you have a captive market ... such attention to detail isn't required!

Thanks for the alert! I'm sure the filling/bleeding procedure will be on the winter 'to-do' list for many Pelicanheads this winter!
