Wondering when you would want to refresh your blower? Assuming you don't overdrive and you are stock, is 20,000 mi on the high side or will I have nothing to worry about for a long time?

There's a deal where they will upgrade you to the 122 for a pretty cheap price.

I would not worry about it until you reach 75-80K on the ticker. I have seen them go 100K+.

I'm at 78k with no problems. Change the oil in the nose at 40k and you should be good to go.

I have some play on the pulley like a 1/4 back and forth. Is there a kit to fix this or is it normal. It has about 15k mi on it.

The nose has a torsional isolator in it. Play back and forth is the spring loaded connection between the nose drive and the rotors.

Perfectly normal.
