Do they all extinguish relatively the same? Or can I store them in the trunk on a hot summer day?

 

Not sure about heats

Two belts will fit under the seat lmao, did u mean to quote me?

 

In general you want to mount a fire extinguisher in a location where if it goes off you won't be angry. So the box or somewhere in the rear is usually preferred. They make lots for heavy trucks that can fit under the seats in the back though that's kind of a tough place to get to.

 

where did you get your sensor attachment? Also, dumb question, but this is for an aftermarket water temp gauge, right?

 

My blower belt went bad 1,500 miles away from home on a road trip. Made good use of autozone's tool rental. Did you have to remove blower belt before getting to the serpentine belt? I haven't replaced serpentine belt myself after having blower installed.

 

Yes u do

 

Rats!

 

I took off the radiator shroud and fan as well.
Theres a bracket that holds a pulley or two for the blower onto the engine. This needs to come off and the belt. Then u can get to the serp.

The belts should be done in pairs imo to save headaches

Here is blower belt off and the bracket, and u can see the serp hidden way back there in place, right behind blower pulleys.

 

Yeah, this didn’t come with my AEM temp sensor. I’ll have to look into where I bought it from

 

I inadvertently discharged an extinguisher in my FJ nine years ago. Still trying to get all the powder out!

 

Found it..... any 36mm will do but this is the one I got....

$10 Dewhel Aluminum Black Water Temp Meter Temperature Gauge Joint Pipe Radiator Sensor Adaptor Clamps 36mm

I put mine in the upper as I assume pre-radiator is a more accurate # to what's inside the motor.

 

I bought my temp sensor from jegs. Believe it was just an AEM duplicate sensor. Then I have a switch inside the cab. I can hit the switch and see my s/c coolant temp, or engine temps on one gauge. Yes, complicated but it amuses me.

 

When using the roush tensioner is the pulley AND bearing used from the stock tensioner? Want to make sure. Dont want to put used parts back in if I'm doing this.

 

I swapped the original pulley (including bearing) over.

 

Thanks. I think I'll just get a new bearing while I'm in there.

 

What happened to the Canadian boost demon @Athlaos? He's been quiet lately. Maybe hibernating for the winter

 

He posted a pic a day or 2 ago of his motor on the gram.....he ripped a s/c belt to shreds.

 

Brings a new meaning to pulley RIP mod now doesnt it?

 

I misaligned 1 of the 5 ribs on my main SERP. It ripped it off and wrapped it all up behind the crank pulley like a big bird nest. Lesson learned.
