The enclosed Tension Adjuster is a new design.
It may appear shorter in length than original.
This is the new OEM design. It will operate
correctly when installed correctly and according
to the vehicle manufacturer instructions.
Bulletin T60381

OK, i'm a little slow on the uptake, i guess. i googled those numbers you gave and came up with this site
http://www.store.partsdinosaur.com/page129.html
is this where you ordered this stuff? to me this is some cheap priced and cheap looking stuff. personally, i'd only do true oem/dealer parts for this job. there's no way to tell if these parts are good to go or not. did you exactly compare the parts to your old ones before installation? i'd be very wary of these things myself, and wouldn't trust it on a slow boat from china.

i also googled "pci" and came up with the site of the 'manufacturer', here:
http://www.preferredcomponents.com/index.htm
there's an address and telephone numbers. call them and ask obout that "Notice" and "Bulletin T60381".

frankly, i think you'd be better off eating the price of this stuff, chalking it up to educational expenses and buying the good stuff from st. charles isuzu in missouri (free shipping, discount, expertise--ask for merlin) or
jlemond who is a real isuzu expert and sells many oem isuzu parts and is well respected on these and other forums -- check the FAQ for the contacts on both these. here i looked it up.
http://isuzu.stcharlesauto.com/Department-Parts.aspx
call merlin...they are open saturday am.
try searching for "jlemond" on this site and send him an email or PersonalMessage.
i found this post in another thread

This is a perfect question for Jerry Lemond, he would know exactly what to do. [email protected]

he is an isuzu tech.
