Planning to install Mightytacomaman's cam gears this Sat and wanted to post this for anyone that is going to do same upgrade.

Apparently cam gear bolts are a pain to loosen/torque due to clearance between cam bolt and engine head, so socket won't fit therefore I have to purchase torque adapter to torque bolts after installing new gears. Like this one.

So here is a video explaining how to use torque adapters correctly.

It was still a 2 man job to loosen/torque that cam bolt. I blew bunch of crow foot adapters in my mechanic days by doing exactly this stupid cam bolt.

How much?

 

[AZRoamer]

I forget what he sells them for, $120?

So, knock $20 off. $100 shipped?

These are unused brand new from him, just sold my rig.

PM me if anyone wants em.

 

[Mightytacoman]

Yes, $120 shipped is my current rate. $100 or $20 off is a great price. Someone should jump on this.
Cheers my friend. Good luck with the sale.

Installation Instructions?

I am very interested in the results as well as the installation process before I purchase these. Does anybody know if there is a public access video or tutorial that someone can share with me? I have found nothing. This post is really the only information about these Cam Gears.

What's the difference between these and the URD one?

no difference, URD originally sold it as part of the UCON EMS package. Mightytacoman decided to machine the same and offer it separately with great results. Although, URD does sell them separately now.

Thanks. I noticed the URD kit is not machined from the OEM part like Mightytacoman that has 2 keyways and you have to install them "upside-down".

I just purchased a set from Mightytacoman on the Taco Forums.

Installed mine earlier today. Idles smoother and can feel a torque increase. I think the ECU still needs time to learn since I never disconnected the battery. Also installed a plenum spacer.
Wasn't to hard just really time consuming because of everything that has to come off.

 

[who done it]

I installed these, truck hunts the gears less and feels like transmission is better programmed.

I have a set from mightytacoma if anyone wants them for 100 shipped, these are never installed. Got extra gears with my URD supercharger.

Just got my gears in the mail and slowly preparing to do the job, trying to think of other things to take care of while things are disassembled.
