Well after the underdrive pulley install I was tired of the guessing game on the size of an AC belt (stupid ass slip belts). So I took a note from the old school LS motors. A belt with its own tensioner.

Parts numbers:

Dayco auto tensioner - 89258
Dayco belt - 5040345
Dorman flanged bolts - M10-1.5x35mm (2)

And I have AC again and all it good. Plus no more ****** around with stretch belts. One 15mm socket, one 3/8 ratchet and I can replace both belts in under 10 mins

Came from upstate NY........ no surprises there. If the test fit works, I will buy new stuff.

Hey we keep the parts places in business up here, never ending battle trying to stay ahead of salt damage.

Well I bought the Morimoto LED projector foglights for my PPV. Here are my initial thoughts.....

Pros: look cool as hell and have a nice feel to them

Cons: the connector to the foglight harness was incorrectly wired. They would not fire up. So I bench tested them and......SOB they had them in reverse polarity. So I had cut/shave the connectors so I could flip them.

I have taken all of the pictures and will contact The Retrofit store where I bought them and see what they have to say or do. I'm a reasonable guy and I understand shit happens......maybe to one connector....but both. They have a problem in the QC department. If it was some cheap china shit.....OK, it was cheap. BUT no, I paid over $200 for these mofos; it should be plug and play gents.

More to follow, in the mean time here are some pictures. I only hope the light output is equal to or better then my previous set up.....cheap china replacement housings and some Amazon LED bulbs. If not.....these ****** are going back.
