oh yeah...
and I believe I forgot to mention that I hit the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift...

 

Because I looked at this thread, my water pump pulley is going to come off, I just know it.
I don't run a fan, either. What I am looking at is a pulley with a threaded stub sticking out of its middle. What do you weld? It looks like one piece to me.

 

pulley is press-fit...
tack to pumpshaft under the "schoolbell" pulley

 

Underneath? It's too cold out for me to go look (40 degrees, I am a wimp), will a MIG gun get to it on the truck?

 

I don't see a thing wrong with tig welding the pulley to the shaft, but you could also run the vett pump with the bolt on pulley, just spaced out for the truck accesories.

 

well...behind the "schoolbell" would be more correct I guess...

 

head unit received @ ATI ProCharger today...

 

Well..it should be on by now

 

last word I got was that it was "checked in and in the blower room for inspection"...

 

DOH!! I just reread this post
