rcapone Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Truck's dialed in pretty good, TPIS is working great and giving me about 1 more psi over the 90, just been super busy with work and plus it's been raining here pretty much non stop for the past couple of weeks. I'm undecided if I should take her to the track in a couple of days...just depends on the weather. I'll be making a gopro or two pretty soon! One thing I just noticed yesterday was the belt is squeaking pretty bad so I bought some belt conditioner at O'reilly's which temporarily makes it stop. Kind of wondering if it's the belt size. What belt do you run Rob? Edited May 13, 2015 by L8ERBRO (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNap12986 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I run a 108 I believe. What brand belt do you run? Do you have an alignment tool? The 8 rib system can be very picky about its belt alignment and it will be noisy if its not pretty spot on. Pay very close attention to the PS and alternator. You may also need to shim your blower pulley out. I had to... a lot. I was surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I'll bet it's out of alignment since I've never had anything aligned. I keep getting aluminum on the back of the belt which makes me think it's slipping. I started out with the 3.3 pulley and ran the Green Gates K081088 which is 109-3/8", then went to the 3" pulley and slapped the K081079 which is 108-1/8". Now I put the smallest belt possible from Gates HD series which is the K081074, is 108" and a bit of a chore to get it on...this is the one that's making the noise but none of the other larger belts made any noise whatsoever. Where would I get an alignment tool, or could I just take it to any shop and have them do it?

RCNap12986 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I may have mis spoke randy... I think I run the K081088 and I thought it was a 108. I would try to identify exactly where the aluminum is coming from. I dont think you would have alum shavings on there without having metal on metal contact. I use a Gates laser alignment tool and it worked well for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 That is a pretty sight Randy. Hope this one proves to be the perfect set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks Johnny - This one should do the trick! Turns out that the guy who built the junkyard trans that's in it now just didn't have the knowledge to build it to properly to high performance specs - I suspect the clutch spacing is off, so I just decided to order this one and be done with it.

JC03SS Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Awesome Randy. Get that thing in there. Need to see some vids of that beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yeah, they're comin Jason - I know I keep saying that but I wanted to get this trans issue resolved first, plus I haven't even driven the truck in 3 weeks because there was apparently an e85 shortage out by me and no one had any that was within 50 miles. Then we had all that rain pretty much all summer long. I am dropping the truck off tomorrow to have the trans installed and I think he's going to do it Saturday.

JC03SS Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hell Yeah. It rains here everyday so I know how you feel. I haven't driven my SS in a couple weeks either. Need to pull her out and waste a lil gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
