Is the support that SDCE sent with it on or does it not fit with the 4.25" pulley??? I forgot to put it on mine and the bracket was flexing and eating up the belt....... not bad enough to ruin it but it was eating it ...... the blower chattered also..... put the other bracket on that attaches to the oil pan and it was all good...... didnt you say scot was going to make u a different bracket or something.......
Let us know......

My guess is that there is an alignment problem...or the bracket is flexing.

yeah i have to check both this teim really carefully, this is starting to suck a lot, But see this time I lost one of the washers for the outrig thing on the idler pulley so it was closer and more of the belt was to ****, sooo i think i need to add 2 and it should be fine. cause one it cracked less so 2 washers more should be good than right???

These belt problems are why I went with a Vortech Ttrim. Hope you get it figured out.

are you running different washers on each standoff??? Your last statement is throwing me, you said you added one to the top left? I think it should be an even amount of spacers per standoff.

Straight edge.... have Scott or Wendy send you one when they send you the new bracket for the 4.25" pulley.

I had troubles eating the outside of my belts. I think there was a small peice of the belt hitting on the old fan motor. Don't feel bad my belts are 75 bucks each.

Hi Nick,

It did ship already...you should see it any day??
I'll pm you the track #
It does sound like something's not quite lined up...let's walk thru it and get her fixed. Get that brace on there, and put the correct washers on there...if you need us to send you more shims, let me know. Give me a call and we'll talk about it...
