Wyoming B.S. Thread

Finally read the Moab ordinance, OHV’s aren’t banned, they just have to travel 10mph slower than the posted speed limit. Unclear if a SXS being plated vs. merely stickered makes a difference.

 

Thats odd. I think I'd find that more annoying with how many of them are there. Hold up traffic haha

 

interesting

 

what specs do i need for those spherical bearings for the kings

I can't remember if you are you running a stock LCA along with an OEM lower shock bolt. If you are, it is 14 mm diameter bolt and the ID of the misalignment spacer needs to fit that. Neither 1/2" or 9/16" will work.

I recommend contacting @TMFF if you are running OEM lower shock bolts.

 

I'd get what you need from @TMFF. Pretty sure you can just get his kit here: 2.5 Coilover Lower Mount Replacement Bearing Kit | 303 Shock Services

 

Speaking of that.. I guess I need my coilovers back at some point haha I'll pm you

 

that looks great! thank you sir

 

I am trying to track down what sounds like a belt squeak. Is there any negative impact to removing the belts and running the engine for a short time without them?

Is it only the radiator cooling that is impacted? It looks like two of the 3 belts drive the fan.

 

Yeah you can pull em and run for a tiny bit, less than a min if its already warm, a min or two if its cold. It heats up fast without a water pump or fan

 

Thanks Zane. So the water pump is not driven by the timing belt? For some reason I thought it was.

 

Oh yeah it is on the 5vz, my B, forgot about that. Yeah you get more time on a cold engine like that, just run the heater haha

 

Ah. That makes sense. Will do.

 

Just a thought - You might try the A/C belt and PS belt as the first two, leaving the fan belt on. Less worry that way...

Is it just the "howl" noise at the end of that video that was your clutch?

 

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yeah, mine sound is nothing like that. I would not describe that as a squeak. More like a shreek. Haha

That is my plan but not because I am particularly worried about heat build up. The PS and AC belts have way more miles on them. If it is a belt noise, it is likely one of those two.

The Alt belt is fairly new.

 

If the alt belt is pretty new, i'd start by just checking all the tension before removing anything.

 

Yeah, I have, doesn't seen to be that. I also replaced to idler bearing on the AC belt too. Wasn't that either.

Not sure what is going on. The squeak is relatively quiet on cold start up but after idling for a bit it becomes louder.

 

sounds like a belt. Cold its smaller, warm it's big(looser).

 

That makes sense. I am hopeful that is all it is.
