How do these things work?I pushed down on it to put tension on the chain but when I try to brake that side a few times it moves the tensioner loose again and I start hearing to chain slapping the floor.Does the tensioner need replaced or is there something I need to tighten?
Sounds like you need to tighten the tensioner.
Can someone please move this to Max forum please?
Are you pushing them down hard enough to get them to snap to the next position? I wrote an article on replacing the Teflon guides not too long ago. There are some decent pictures in there that will let you see what I'm talking about: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/gener...placement.html
The metal clip behind them acts as a spring to help keep them in place. I guess it's possible that it is missing on yours?
I looked at the article and was trying to figure out why they would not stay locked in place.I will have to look tomorrow to see if the spring is missing.
You might need new ones due to the teeth being rounded, or they may be on crooked and since they are not alligned perfectly parallel with the chain, they will pop up.

I have a similiar problem. I have one side that makes a anapping noise which I can feel in the body when it happens. I always thought the chain was loose but I am beginning to thing I too need new adjusters as the chain is rrather sloppy. It is a MaxII, and with the large engine it is a real chore to work on at times.
As soon as money permits I will be replacing the chain adjustr/guide.But for now,can I tack weld the 2 pcstogether until they arrive?I am trying to keep the chain from banging the tub/floor.It is only doing this on 1 side and seems that this would be a temporary fix.I have no way of leaving this for good and was not going to worry about reusing the stock adjusters since they would be replaced by a set from Richards.
What vehicle do you have?
Your issue sounds exactly like mine in the Frontier.

Why do we waste tax money on bridges and roads when we can all just drive AATVs
