Regardless of asswipe news reports or political nonsense, the American public appreciates what y'all are having to deal with & fight against over there. The holdup on effective equipment to do your job is appauling & just ******* ridiculous. We are nothing without you. Please, blow up some s*** for me! Thanks

 

[S.A.MSP]

for me too, wish i was there with you great guys!!!

 

[cougar10agREDUX]

thanks guys... media is bulls***. they don't report anything accurate at all. you wouldn't believe how much of your tax dollars we waste every time we are on a mission. some of it is for fun, so i thank you for paying for our firework shows . but a lot of it is from stupid bulls***. i.e, resupplies giving us s*** we already have too much of, causing us to destroy the s*** we can't pack or carry when we move.

but enough of the threadjack, back on topic of brach's awesome pullies!

Hopefully I will be getting my CP soon. I've been waiting 2 months so far

The crank pulleys began shipping on Friday. I was only able to get a few out. It takes a lot of time to brouch the center and assemble it. So I still have 16 to get out the door. They will all be out this week. It takes more time than I first though to finish them, however, they are headed out the door.

The first page is not correct. The crank pulleys are out of stock. I will be making more in the coming week.

Hopefully I will be getting my CP soon. I've been waiting 2 months so far

see above...(cool)

my Alt pulley broke and sheered the belt, the inside lip broke off, i'll take pics, needless to say but i'm ****** pissed off

 

[FL_PR5]

wtf, damn... was there any wear signs? like hairline cracks or chips?

 

[cougar10agREDUX]

you posted earlier that you had a squealing problem with the belt from that pulley. who installed the pulley? it may not have been installed straight

Please send me the pictures and PM me with your phone number. If your belt was sqealing that means it was slipping on the pulley and causing alot of added things to come into play. We will get to the bottom of it.

after closer investigation, the Brach pulley is not at fault, when i went to remove the alternator i saw that the bottom bolt was missing, only thing holding the alt was the tensioner lock bolt which caused the alt to sway side to side while the car was running which caused the belt to slowly climb off the pulley and in turn breaking it, which also made the water pump not pump anymore so my car was overheating while getting a ticket for my 3.5% tint, anyway so i took it off, put the stock pulley back, thank the lord the shop who installed the motor gave it back to me, who are the same people that didn't put the bottom alt bolt in, anyway, i put on some new Gatorbacks and the car runs good now, the only light weight pulley it has on is the water pump

Here are pics:

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

Sux, are they gonna buy you a new pulley? This is why it's excrutiating to even think about anybody else doing anything to my rides. Damn, glad it didn't totally screw anything up.

 

[S.A.MSP]

well first the car started overheating so i though it was the thermostat and i changed it, still overheated so i thought i might have installed it backwards, it was dark so i waited till today, flipped it around, heard belt squealing so i grabbed the belt dressing, go to spray and come to find i only had one belt, then i saw the pulley all messed up so that's how it all started, the shop installed my motor and it's actually a very reputable shop but they better buy me a new pulley and give me the money back for the belt and atleast a few hours of labor, not only that, when the car was there they put the hood prop rod in a hole that would the hood open more but it was right on the outer shell so now there's a bump on the hood, it looks like a zit.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

Double crap, no, triple. Did the alt survive cause I know that's 170.00 thang, just did that recently. Good luck dealing with the shop.

 

[Brach]

S.A.MSP,

I appreciate your honesty. Many people would have been looking to get a free part out of someones elses fault. For your honesty, I will be sending you a brand new ALT pulley.

why would someone not remove the hood to install a motor? is 4 bolts and a little realigning all that hard? hell sometimes i wanna remove that ****** everytime i work in the engine bay
