i have been told that you just have to get the nut off and that is about it but getting the nut off can be a real pain.

 

Thanks big guys! I lost some motivation as we are now in our 3rd day of 108°F. :/

 

Crazzzzzywolfieeeee, you da man. I figured...that will be the easiest thing to try. Hit it with the impact gun and bam!

So, the nut is 15/16"

Use a 15mm on the tension pulley to add more friction on the alt pulley.

Have plenty of room to get the impact gun in there b/c of my TCP shroud.



Placed the belt in middle of the new pulley ---> Incorrect



Moved it to the back and perfect alignment ---> Correct

 

sweet. cant wait to see the compressor installed.

 

cool. glad it came off so easy. i got the info from PnishrPW over on dodge talk. he seems pretty knowledgeable about alternators.

 

This compressor install is looking fantastic. I'm totally jealous. Which compressor is this going to use?

 

Picture and specs on previous page boss.



I was hoping no belt squeeling from the changed out pulley. No dice! Got a Gates belt (2nd one now) from O-Reilly's this morning and it did the trick. I now have a trail spare.

 

Wh1t, any updates? This is one heck of a cool build man! Howz the onboard air coming?

 

Not a dayum thing man. It's too damn hot. It has only gone down 10 degrees since 4th of July (109F). I need to get 3/8"-16x.56" bolts for the York anyways.

So for the weekend I take the family up to the mountains to get out of the heat. 85F up there and more importantly, everyone is happy. Maybe this week will cool down some.

 

Ordered and will arrive in 2 days.
