You are the one who had to part your truck out and sell it a while back to move out of mommy and daddys place or so you posted. On the contrary I never had a problem with you until a while back, the first big instance I remember was your boy telling my you wanted my LS6 block and that I should PM you. I had someone local offer to come pick it up and and you hadnt said anything to me about getting the block from me so I sold it. You got your panties in a wad and proceeded to send me a rash of ****ty PMs over on pt. Second the original noise on daniels truck was not coming from up front on the accessories drive, he and I both climbed all over that motor and it sounded to be from the top end. There was no coolant on the belt when I watched daniel try to guess the routing of the belt:laugh: How the hell would I hit the alt hard enough to hurt it while changing the springs, it would take a hammer hit or something to really screw it up. A noisy alt like Daniels most definately can be a problem its coming from one of the bearings, I believe its the rear one where the cooling fins are at, if not replaced it could sieze leaving him stranded and possibly eating a belt in the process. So please tell me how a noisy alt like his is of no concern. You have second hand knowledge of the problem with his truck, you werent there, I may not have the most experience on this board but Ive been around long enough and am familiar. Honestly I could give a **** less, you didnt see how nasty daniels motor was, I personally believe it was a valve guide issue after seeing the debris that was in his motor and how nasty it was, either way his truck is running and very good and thats all that matters. I dont care to converse with you via PM or telephone about our issues, I dont care to be your friend just keep your posts out of my threads or taking shots at me in any other threads and I will do the same.
