  1. Try JPA Automotive in Chatsworth, CA. Talk to Brian at JPA, he installed my MP112 on an 03 SS, I know he can also get good deals on Superchargers. Check out performancetrucks.net, they usually have a few superchargers being sold over there at various times.

     

    Check Google for a phone number as I dont have one on me right now.

  2. According to what I've seen about the released GM plans for the future a new GMT 900 model called the C3XX is going to be released in 2012.

     

    Check Jalopnik.com or Autoblog, they have the white book listed from the GM UAW agreement. Picture below: (Check out Pontiac Plant)

  3. Sorry to hear about the broken items. My company probably ships 10 shipments a day through UPS and maybe another 20 through FedEx (Internationally). It seems no matter how you pack it, or even putting fragile sign on the product doesnt detour a shipping companys employees from throwing the boxes around like dead weight. Their employees want to finish their route the quickest, and if that means throwing boxes here and there, and they finish their route an hour early, they go home with a full 8 hours pay for 7 hours worth of work. Pretty sad!

     

    The claims process is a lengthy and painful ordeal so good luck. it just seems FedEx, UPS, Bax Global and the companies like them just dont care, they figure out of the number of boxes that look like the ones you received, only a small percentage of people will call in and put claims through. Most people dont insure the shipments either, which in turn only helps the shipping companies.

     

    Good luck with the claim!

  4. I told the wife we need to head out west to flip some houses but no go as of yet lol :crackup:

     

    You need a big chunk of change to Flip houses out here in California. You can find decent flips in Arizona and New Mexico. California is just outrageous for housing costs, unless you flip houses out in the Inland Empire where housing prices arent as bad, but still pretty high.

     

    Im going Sunday to the fair grounds...If you see a dirty, and I mean hasnt been washed ever black SS. Its mine...Write something on the hood so I know you guys showed up. It would be a good place to go for a cruise since PCH is about 15 min away, and its a nice drive to Laguna or even up to Huntington.

  5. Autozone can coss reference it. Their computer system is nly as good as the money running it. Here is a link to the Advance Auto parts website. Autozone's website leaves much to bedesired. Hope this helps...don't forget you need the pulley too unless you found it.

    305222 is autozone P/N. I looked at Daycos website and saw the 89222, but i assume the autozone guy was just not as smart as I had hoped. Either way the 305222 is the Autozone P/N for Daycos PN of 89222. I got a stock 6 rib pulley and matched it to one Autozone had in stock (same size and dimensions).

     

    All in all the truck is up in running after an hours work this morning. I just wish someone could find a billet tensioner that would work on our applications.

  6. Ask them to pull a tensioner for a '97 Ford F150 with the 6 cyl. Cross reference the part numbers, should be the same one.

    BTW, welcome to the club. :happysad: I carry a spare with me at all times. I broke 2. All broke on a WOT to around 5K, off the gas and then back on it. The belt has a tendency to "walk" IMO, falling off and then letting the tensioner slam back, snapping it. Some say otherwise.

     

    Haha I love the club of having my tensioner break, my tensioner pulley snap...All in the name of speed I guess...

     

    I just wish Autozone could reference 89222 which is the Dayco P/N, but in Autozones system it shows 305222. Hopefully this will help someone if they run into the same issue as me.

     

    Thanks Guys...

  7. Here is info from another older post

     

    "tensioner part number = 89222

    pulley for tensioner # = 89009

     

    Don't forget that the pulley the tensioner comes with is not the right one, you have to buy the pulley too!!"

     

    CD

     

    Yea I saw that info in a post after searching. Unfortunately Autozone doesnt have that part # in their system. All their dayco parts start with "305". So Im going to try my hand at P/N 305222 and see if this works. I dont know why the P/N would be different, but Ill see when I walk into autozone tomorrow morning...

     

    Thanks Cadowns!

  8. So I switched to a 112.0" and BAM the tensioner was gone today. So any ideas of what I can do to fix this messy tensioner issue. Im staying with the 112.0" Gatorback like most of you are running with the 3.0 pulley.

     

    Suggestions? I need the P/N to the tensioner shown below. Autozone couldnt find it and I have no clue what model truck or car this comes off of. I know they carry DAYCO parts. Another model of tensioner would be helpful if guys have had more success? Thanks ahead of time guys!

  9. Looking for a spare tire for my 03 SS. Original is long gone. I am running 305/50/20s as my main tires right now, so something that comes close to the 32 inch diameter would be great. Let me know what you have, and how much shipped to 85044.

     

    you have a PM

  10. Correction: 04 SS... maybe the parts are different since it was an 04 radix kit? It should be the same though i would think. If the tensioner is too tight you may break it.. you might want to look into getting a 112 or 112.5" belt if the one you have is that tight

     

    Thanks for the correction Kris. Im installing the belt this weekend and going with the 112.0 once autozone gets the part in. Last thing I need is a ruined tensioner or anything else.

  11. I've gotta ask, what idler pullies are you running? This makes a big difference.

     

    Zippy I got the radix off of punkt71 who runs a 03 SS, and hes running the pullies that either come stock with the kit or that gm had on the truck already. My left idler pulley (if youre looking at the engine) is adjustable. For reference both idler pullies are parallel to each other, the one on the right doesnt look adjustable, but the left one definetly is. Its the idler screwed into a brass? block in the back and has room to move the pulley up or down. Should I just pull this idler up a little for some slack?

     

    The truck feels alot tighter on the top end for some reason, then again i could just be talking out of my rear. This pulley id tighter then it should be, so I dont feel any slip, or anything being sluggish when I first step on the pedal.

     

    Im just worried the tensioner will become a problem or some of the accessories like the water pump or alternator may have issues with the tight belt. I mean 0.5" doesnt seem like much. But I cant definetly say the tensioner pulley is fully compressed and has no where to go right now.

     

    I guess some pictures are in need to show my setup.
