    I have 31k miles on my truck and the Idler Pulley is out all ready. Spoke to a couple other guys and they have also heard theirs making noise but has gone away. Mine however did not. Keep an eye out on your Pulleys Gents!!

    Just curious, do you pressure wash your engine bay or go through high pressure car washes?

    Just after trails. I've done it for years on other trucks, never had a problem.

    Me too and I'm not judging. I just know that one shot on a sealed bearing with the pressure washer can force water past the seals and it's game over. I've done it on my ATV. I still power wash it but I'm very careful around all the wheel bearings and such.
