The Lair

If you don't have a HC bumper just plow through that shit.


Don't worry, the exhaust is dumped behind the axle

 

Is it suppose to be an active thread here?

 

We are over @bski22 s build thread discussing custom plates

 

I had to go take a 35 question test. Can miss up to 7 and still pass, and I missed 10 Time to actually study this time and take it again in two weeks.

 

Wait what did I miss?

 

Test? What test?

 

Some dumb Navy test that I am coming up due on. You get two tries so I did minimal studying and took it to see where I'm at. Just need to study a bit more and I'll be good for next time.

 

After this last trip to green ridge, my truck is mighty noisy under the hood. It's entirely RPM dependent, so I suspect it's one of the three idler pullies that got some mud in it. The plan is to take off the serpentine belt following this thread, and spin each one by hand to see if they're bad. I'm also going to replace the serpentine belt while I'm at it, because it's probably pretty old.

 

Mine was annoying on the way back too. It’s fine now though. I hate mud haha

 

I'm also going to spray it out some more and hope that it just goes away on it's own. It's pretty embarrassing driving down the road noisy as hell!

 

Shit happens lol

 

It is embarassing! Oh well it’ll go away eventually haha

 

This weather is teasing me! its beautiful outside right now, but my driveway is a massive puddle of slush and snow so I cant work on the truck because it all involves crawling on the ground! plus once the sun goes down, it will no longer be this nice! I just want to get my oil change done before my trip at the end of March

 

Soooo I'm buying a 1/4" spacer since the last one I bought was a 1/2" even though the guy said 1/4", then I'm installing them both to get a touch more lift up front while fixing the lean, then I'm going to throw in the AAL and I'll have an official 2" lift all around! Budget lifting like a champ!

 

Speaking of tests, I just found out I passed my written test I took last week (that I did not feel too confident about) for promotion and will move on to the next phase of testing!

 

I should record what my truck sounds like when I start it in the morning...sounds like a 40 year old jalopy!

I have a new belt, but need to order likely all new idlers from Gunny.

 

You’ll get them next time buddy!

 

If you fail it again you get dishonorably discharged?

 

Mines loud then after a min or 2 you almost can't even hear it
