Yeah I needed it done asap so the instock tensioner at o Riley was 109 and pulley was 30. So I got hosed for needing it done now. Everyone else was getting it to me by the 15th or later. Beats paying a shop to do it I guess.
And thanks guys for all of your insight and help. This really is a...

First of all I want to thank everyone who chimed in to help me learn with my limited skills and understanding. The knowledge on this forum is priceless and I appreciate everyone.
Just an update. I just completed a 600+ mile trip from the Tacoma Wa area to the Idaho panhandle near the Montana...
Just an update. Trans cooler installed. Fuel filter changed, and air filter replaced. The air filter fits really nice in the ram air box. The bracket holding the box on needed to be shimmed so that the filter fits on the turbo correctly. It has a noticeable increase in power. I haven’t towed...
