1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

For about a 1/2 second I thought that was PHMs truck

 

The only wheels as ugly as the Patricks

 

Greatings from Toy Lex

 

Nice. My brother’s boat is in Kemah.

 

I’ve got an ex-gf in kemah.

 

Fond memories of long ago members who wear that proudly.

May they RIP

 

Occasionally, I used to shop at Kemaht.

 

did you move the alignment cam eliminators or keep em neutral?

 

You don't remember?
I stayed up til 3am last Sunday working on em. I posted pics of my redneck technique a la ratchet strap and 6x4 with holes drilled into it for screwdrivers haha

 

Who doesn't?

 

I really dont remember much after the 10th beer. But i remember now.

 

I told Juan I need my truck back by Wednesday. Apart from any unforseen catastrophic failures, I intended to be at your gate by sunrise Thursday with U bolts, AALs, center pins, maybe 35's in the bed or on the truck.

Might bring my sawzall and angle grinder.

 

I’ll let you know if i wont be here. J/k sounds good. I dont plan to go anywhere.

 

Toyota is discontinuing the new model Supra in 2026.

Question incoming:
I’ve been getting a belt-screech upon startup that lasts only a couple seconds. Have yet to figure out where it’s coming from.
Today, just after the screechy startup, I put a load on the electrical system (ARB dual compressor) and the screech came back, a bit weaker and more of a chatter, and stayed consistent until I shut off the compressor. My guess is -alternator pulley bearing?
Thoughts?

 

This made my son very sad.

 

I’d remove the serp belt and spin the pulleys. Alternator would be logical, I’d want to check all pulleys for the hell of it.

 

You should hear my power steering pump when it gets below 45*. I've been saying I'll wait till it warms up to fix it, but then it stops screeching and I'm like

 

Yall all said yall were gonna buy it and then didn’t

 

Ha, not this guy. That's too much money for my pocket to handle. Plus, I'm not really a BMW fan.

 

Good, no more BMW

 

You know what we grew up calling BMW?

 

By "chlorine bombed" I'm guessing you used one of the Biocide Cl02 products like Auto Shocker. I've used their Room Shocker product on several occasions and was impressed with the results. YMMV

 

Bring me waffles?
Bitch, moan & whine?

 

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

 

It was auto shocker that I used. It is seriously a great product. This was just a lot, and I mean a lot, of stagnant cigarette smoke. As you can tell from how my blower motor looked my trucks PO must have been a 2 pack a day in that thing.

 

That’s the plan. I just recently replaced the tensioner pulley, so there goes the ‘best case scenario’. TBH I don’t really get how the electrical load would have a direct impact on the belt chirp, whether it be the alternator, or any other pulley. When the output from the alternator is higher, does the pulley have more resistance/rotational drag? Just curiosity at this point. I know what needs to be done.
