Also did emissions test in CO yesterday. Passed with flying colors. Have long tube headers and only the 2 mid cats, and hptuners. All they did was connect to the odb port while the truck was running. That's it, I didn't even get out of the truck. Took it to the Castle Rock location if that helps. They had the shortest wait times

 

Did a oil change on the truck this week. Saw a little oil leak. Looked like front crank seal. So I figured I’d keep an eye on it. Well I guess it’s leaking bad now. So I’m guessing nst pulley still have a problem? Guess stock one is going back on.

 

Ouch. That's a good size leak.

 

Here you go ladies and gents

The crank pulley sleeve was greased, yes?

 

Pretty sure. Can’t remeber. But it’s been on for around 10k with no problems.

 

Just checked my coolant. Going to recheck in the morning but it looks awfully low.

 

Aaaaaaaaannnd they're out of stock again.

 

Use the contac them option on HPS website. They have an out of stock option. They replied back to me pretty quickly with an in stock date range. How I knew to keep checking this last week

 

Neat-o. Thanks!

 

Well, these DO NOT fit. Looks like they took their measurements off of the pump side, and not the header side...

Anyone have a link to another brand? Or am I doing this wrong? Assuming the plates go on the header, ya?

Header side vs the other

 

Never mind, imma fix it with a cut-off disc

 

I believe someone said those needed to be modified a little……or maybe it is the ones I got (Toyota plates). I haven’t installed mine yet

 

There we go. Still a little disappointed with these, especially for the premium price.

 

Found the other thread and the Toyota ones look to fit the headers properly. I also had to get new bolts that are fully threaded because the Hewitt plates are so thin

 

Were those the Hewitt plates? They may have sent you the wrong ones if that is the case.

 

They were. Possible, they fit the sais pump side perfectly. But the grind fix works. I'm probably gonna put an order in for the Toyota ones anyways.

 

Minimum amount of grinding needed to fit
