Well changing my belts have turned into quite the lesson on what not to do. In my lessons I damaged the charge air hose on the cool side. I was wondering where I can get a replacement. The parts manual shows only a OEM part number an in my attempt to cross the number has ran into a dead end...
This one seem to be much better constructed than the smaller one. If I didn't buy it from harbor tool I would have thought it was not a harbor tool. there was someone here how said they used this on a M939 with no issues. I think it will be fine.
As much as I would like to have a jack like that the price of the china one wins.

I am having a hard time getting my fat paws and arms in... I took a look and has anyone tried to take the bottom shroud off? Kind of looks easier to take off if you can get it past the drain on the bottom.

Thank you NDT!!! You are awesome and have saved me a headache. Just know it's going to be a PIA to replace!
Speaking of Gates... are they made in China now?
In my research I found a post/video/something i can't remember on the internets where they showed rust and corrosion from running antifreeze. I have been looking at the "counteract" beads for my tires. Has anyone here ran these? There is a youtuber "brokeoverland" who has used them. I am looking...
just bumping this topic to see if anybody has anything else to add... Having putting a few miles under the butt... not liking the USGI seats... Nope not at all!
But but.,... they sold them for 80 bucks....
I asked one of the folks if they have installed them yet... nothing but crickets... It's a lot of work... especially the front. Sure you can remove the front by taking off the king pins but you can't see the seals and bearings... My seals had issues...
