Changed out the belt, tensioner, and idler pulleys this morning. Easier than I thought it would be. Not sure I’m a fan of the updated plastic pulley on the tensioner though.

I’m pretty sure I could just buy another idler pulley and put it on the tensioner. It looks just like the idler pulleys.

@Chiefapple @MEIRONMAN207

The updated Tensioner is much better having gone through 5 Tensioners now.
I even tried the Thumper Tensioner but it ate up two alternators in a month and with the Whipple compressor needing to be removed when replacing the alternator, this became a $$$ learning curve.
Thumper wouldn't even help or even listen to my problem, I wound up selling it to another member on this forum that was installing it on his NA Raptor.

Livernois sells a 8 rib system with the Thumper, I guess Thumper must have removed some tension since I haven't heard any problems.

Finally upgrading my cooling system: Full Race radiator, Afco dual pass heat exchanger with fans, mishimoto radiator hoses. My dang Roush lower heat exchanger brackets were rusted so bad I busted the bolt heads right off both of them...’cause nothing can EVER just be easy. Going to try to rig it until Roush sends me some new ones so I can put everything back together and start flushing the system tonight. Radiator is sexy...too bad nobody will ever see it. Y’all will have to validate me as usual I guess.

Put these on. Holds the lca in place much better and way easier to align

Are those the SPC performance cams? I have a set I need to install. I have the basic cams on now. They keep losing alignment after a weekend in the dirt. Happy I have lifetime alignment at pep boys.
