I give you hook ups all the time and you never listen, except for two times. First, you bought the RennTech stage 1 and now you go a little farther for service .

I have noooo idea. Maybe I'll see if I can get the dealer to replace some idler pullies, and then switch back to the RT belt after.

I hear S is no longer at W.C.

You should also look into the other belt and see if those pulleys are tweaked.

Never fear, it is all taken care of...

great, just what I want to avoid. Other components that might not get warrantied because of "aftermarket pulley". Thats why Im a bit cautious about taking it to MBLN. I wish I could take it back to WC. PM me and let me know what's going on, I need warranty work done.

HAHA!! You'd better call RennTech for their warranty. Nah, seriously, the parts are cheap so don't bug. I guess the inner ring is aftermarket and they could link that. Worse case, you come here. Let me find out what up and I'll email. Go aftermarket with your pulleys and it won't matter.

are you talking the crank pulley? Mine is the new one piece, liquid dampened or something. I was referring to the idler pulleys or whatever else may be squeeking. I was worried that they wont fix it under warranty because of the crank pulley.

But I suppose the idler pullies are easy enough to replace on my own.

jeez, sorry about the threadjack
