    11:39 onwards, hit pause, then step-frame forward, (use > key), to see resonance on the slack-side of the crank-pulley leading to the belt riding up and into the next groove-set. Once past the outer groove onto the pulley-rim, it is only a matter of time before the belt trashes itself.

    At 26:55 *"Is that still the clutch in this?"*
    I think he's referring to the one way clutch/sprag thing used on some modern alternators input shafts that allow the alternator to freewheel a bit as the engine RPM abruplty drops. So he had a good eye there 👍

    The smoke in the dyno room tells you that even when the tune doesn’t produce smoke, there’s still a good bit of exhaust blowing into the room. I wonder if the CO and CO2 in the exhaust might be killing a little power and skewing the mixture a tick. Even when there’s no visible smoke.

    Hey Steve, I'm not sure if the idea has been floated. It probably has, but with Mullet going under the knife, I think you should be talking to them about the SML ! It solves pretty much all the questions with the car. If CJRC can get mullet on a diet of 2750 like they hope, no doubt an SML would carry it to a 5 second pass.

    You should have filled out the jury questionnaire as Dewey Morris. He barks once for guilty, and twice for not guilty. LOL!

    STEVE MORRIS obviously the jury system in your state is very different to here in Australia, I am retired now but when I had my workshop I got called for Jury duty several times and here you can be excused from jury duty if you are a business owner.

    That's a good looking truck. It's wrapped? I think that's what he said. I couldn't have that here in Ca. Our emission laws are too strict. Can't wait to leave this state.

    I wish I won the Trailblazer of course. But I'm happy for him. He really knows what it going on.

    Judge asks if there is a reason you can't serve? Yes sir I don't show I get no dough. Good thing turned out to be 10 week trial. Trades don't have sick days or pay for jury duty. MO. Congrats to the winner, if Dewey liked em hes good to go!
