Sym, does the problem Pastaboy is having sound like what Sourdiesel ran into? You fixed it so I don't remember exactly what it was, but was the pulley on backwards?
Sour's truck still has or had something going on with it, but I dont think they have the same issue, we'll get it figured out if you havent already done so Sour. It seems that alot of people have put the pullies on backwards causing belt issues. When Mantis got his truck used, the person who assembled the truck put the pullies on backwards and had the rear cva pins partialy sticking out between the bearing and the axle itself, which caused extreme binding when the wheels were tightened down. No wonder the guy thought the truck didnt drive well
