While I’ve been busy with the 5 other projects and now back on the International. I have gotten my motor all assembled and ready to install back into the truck. As close to new as it gets
Because opinions and buttholes or something about front diffs....
Eliminating the AC tensioner gets rid of the bearing/pulley/spring= less to wear out. Less weight too, since we are all so keen on building ultra lightweight racecars here. You can use the extra bolt for... keistering
Stretch belt is like $7 on RA, and if your t-stat housing springs a leak on a road trip, it won't **** your AC tensioner bearing, seize and break the belt
Ask me how I know the above can actually happen.....
Oh yeah, I have the ac pulley assembly from the 6.2s original accessories, same compressor bracket 99-13, two bolt mounting etc. I see just as many blowing off stretch belts and pulleys as I do with tensioners on between both nbs and nnbs trucks. But for sure is a good thought. I’m sure most noticed I’m the oem hardware ****. Every nut,bolt,bracket,stud and bracket is new on it lol.
