Now I'm sure this has been asked a thousand time and I've read other forums about it but i can't get a straight answer, so can anyone tell me, is it safe to drive for a prolonged period of time with the VCT solenoids unplugged? My truck has been running since I unplugged it yesterday morning. I ordered new parts and they'll be in today so I won't be driving too much without them.

Anyways, what are the negative effects of driving with them unplugged? Will my truck be fine? Am I looking at any serious damage? Please Help

 

You won't hurt anything, it will just be down on power and use more gas.

 

Okay that isn't too bad. Anything else?

 

glc is right. I wouldn't drive the truck unless you really need to though.

 

Problem is, it's my daily driver and I work about 45 mins from where I live. Although I only use it to work and back. The old lady has a '17 lol
