    What do you consider driving distance? I drove from Flagstaff, AZ to Kerrville, TX in about 15hrs. Only stopped for gas and restroom.

    I was about to ask the same thing. Knoxville to Flagstaff was 26 hours.

    Knoxville to Boston is 14 hours. There are plenty of rust free Tundras here. 4 in my neighborhood alone.

    Tinnitus. Theoretically I could but I need to goto the ENT and have them poke a hole in each of my eardrums to equalize the pressure since my tiny eustachian tubes can’t do it. They said it’ll heal back up in a few days so I reserve it for emergencies.

    Weight reduction, mostly rust.
    Just replaced mine with a gates and the thing makes noise, kind of reminds of 80s fords... :facepalm:.
    It's the belt on the pulley (used my handy stethoscope). Ive heard of a few solution to this, like stick deodorant etc... Anyone have any secrets?
    I did a couple 303 sprays on the back side, it's not as bad as it first was but its still there.
    It's MADE IN CANADA :)

    New serpentine belt (short term solution) or a Gatorback belt which is now produced by Continental under a different model name last I heard.

    I think mine was/is the ac delco version. I remember something about the gates pully being 3.83" and, after I measured the existing, was a match for acd...like 4" or something.

    The odds of you finding a respectable frame in any of those locations is pretty low. VA is still pretty far north. Have you given up on the Raptor Ranger for now?

    Yeah, unless I take advantage of the exchange rate and buy in Canada, then it would be reasonable. Need to get a broker to work out the deets though. VA beach is where I’ve been occasionally looking.

    lot of idling for DC vehicles.
    I have noticed if you want side airbags on a FGT, VA seems to be the place to look. I can only guess some dealer(s) in that area primarily checked yes on that box.

    Did "non-stop" Orlando to just north of NYC in a rented Caravan. Won't be doing that again, might have been some hallucinating by NJ, but "Crack On!"

    Thanks :thumbsup:, I'll look those up :fistbump:


    I thought about putting the old pulley on the new tensioner because it was Perfectly quiet. Or just putting the old one right back on, but it's been quieting down.
    The thing that isn't quiet though is my fan on cold start up... New Beck Arnley fan clutch doesn't free wheel like it should, and the fan roars, $81:mad: About to put the old clutch back in as well.
    This episode started with fan blade explosion taking out my radiator... I thought ide do some other shit while I was in there. Should have left it alone this time I guess.

    I'm hearing a little voice in my head, its shifty, its saying "I don't like Beck-Arnley, I have had bad luck with them" shit parts or something... :anonymous:

    What about the kids flushing toys down the toilet clogging it up? That’s always fun.
