Making it back safe
Has everyone made it back safe from Maxus? I know some drove from Florida, Mass., Wisconsin, and some other long journey'd places. Just wanting to see id everyone made it back ok. I know Deezo was having pulley problems from the dyno. Deezo, if you are there,hit us up man.

I took the pulley apart and it looks fine. I think the high heat in the engine back caused the spacer behind the pulley to lock up on the bearing or something. I'll make it back with no problem. I'm still in OK and I'll be heading back to the NE tomorrow morning.

Good, glad to hear, man. Are you going to get a new one back on or drive all the way through?

Well, I made it back to OKC in one piece, storms and all (f**king potenzas). It was hairy there for a little while when I was constantly hydroplaning.

I made it back at about 5:15am (14 hours again). I decided to hit the road after I dropped everyone off at DFW yesterday.

Just got back to Wis. Safe, uneventful trip, 17 hours. No bad weather, no mechanical problems. I (and Tim) had a blast down there!

Good to hear everyone got back ok. I got home around 3am this morning, it was a pretty smooth trip. I hit a little rain, but nothing major. It was around 15 hours of driving.

Ahh, I didn't worry about it after I took it apart and saw that it was still in good shape. However, I am about to head to Goodyear to pick up a new belt.

Good. I think I am going to have my AC belt replaced pretty soon, since my ps belt broke at Maxus I figured I might as well get the other one done too.

3.5 was what I suggested too. He'll have a hell of a lot more room in his engine bay to work with than the 4th Gens.
