Np. I actually don't see my neighbors much. Maybe I can grab one of them this weekend.

Have you swapped any components lately, like crank pulley, alternator, PS pump, A/C comp???

Almost seems like something isn't lined up exactly right... One time I had a PS pump pulley that wasn't lined up 100%... it didn't throw belts but it caused the belt to squeal... it was only off by maybe an 1/8" or so... hardly noticable but enough to squeal and annoy the crap out of me until I figured it out.

No, nothing. I swapped that idler pulley, I thought that was the cause of my problems. Obviously not. Only thing I found was that rubber from the old belt in the grooves of the ps pulley. Wasn't really gummed up or anything tho. Wish I had taken a pic.

EDIT: If you look really close at the ps pulley in the previous pic you can kind of see what I'm talking about.

Some of y'all should've had a construction job at least once in your life to get some culture.
Hmmm...I’m in construction, have been all my life. Never heard of that one, we use the ones you can’t type here.

Please enlighten us, oh wise one.

Notice I didn't say wise what... lol

Wise ass? That's totally TYF-friendly and appropriate in this context! As Mark mentioned, they're mostly just downright inappropriate anywhere off the jobsite. But "tighter 'n Dick's headband" is a classic that I thought for sure was used universally.

I've been outta that realm for a while now and, as of these past few posts, feel I may need to brush up on the latest zingers. Any you can share, Mark?

Umm...nope. Everything I say on the job can’t be said here. F******* , f***fart and mother******* ***wipe were thrown around a bit last Friday, along with other far worse ones. Sometimes we just try to see how many times we can use the f-word and it’s variations in one sentence. Other times we make up words and then see if they’re already in the www.urbandictionary.com to see if their definitions are what we think they should be.
