The Lair

Congrats man!

If I need new ones, I'm going to see what he charges!

Not quite! I'm really not sure what my chain of command is gonna do. It's not going to be pretty though

 

I had a squeak and I washed my engine bay today and it's gone, maybe try that?

 

Congrats buddy!

 

I tried rinsing it off with a hose with the engine off, and no luck. I may try again with the engine on to try and help it work into the tight spots and eliminate it.

 

Oh I also learned that you can add an AAL to the new HD dakars, bumping up it's payload another 15% putting it around a 800 lb leaf pack, which would be perfect for what I need. If I decide I need new leafs I'll likely just go that route.

 

Wanna hear about a budget lift? I got a 2" toytec front spacer and a practically brand new toytec progressive AAL for $150 - $50 for the spacer, $100 for the AAL (separate transactions)!

 

I'm getting the AAL for $20 from a friend and spent a combined $35 on the front spacers

 

The expo stage III that I have are 700+, I don't know what the max is but I have had quite a lot of weight loading the back of the truck down with about 1/2" of sag. My guess was roughly 800lbs or so.

 

I would take spring right now without looking back! Today was awesome! Almost all the snow on my roof is gone and all the ice on my driveway too, its on a slope so water don't stay. If you want you can borrow my driveway for your oild change

 

Atv is supposed to leave the garage also, so you can borrow the garage

 

The all pro expos? I'm staying far away from them with all the shit that's happened recently with them.

 

Sorry the deaver expeditions stage 3

 

So the starting payload is more than your leafs now? Sounds like that's what you have already

 

The starting payload is 660 on the new had Dakar’s, but the AAL can be added for more capacity.

 

I get that, I'm asking how much more that is compared to your current leafs. I thought that's what are you running

 

Players gotta play!

 

Ahhh, I wasn’t sure what you were asking. I’m not sure on the capacity of the old Dakar’s. I’ll have to check when I get home.

 

Looks like old Dakar’s with AAL have a 660lb capacity as well.

 

So hungry

 

Mine was the same. I did what you described with taking the belt off and spinning them by hand and one idler felt scratchy.

I washed the engine with a hose using a fire hose type nozzle to get a good jet stream. It was also hot water from the slop sink at work. I did it with the engine off and while it was running. No change in sound for me, so I had to proceed to plan B. I also changed the serp belt, but my old one (36k miles and looks brand new) is now under the drivers seat for a trail spare.

I plan to get another couple idler pulleys for spares. Mine came from advanced auto or AutoZone. It was the last one in stock and like $60... I'm pretty sure there's 2 different part numbers for the pulley on our engine. Make sure you want the right one.
