Paxton Maintenance?

[SRT-MIKE]

Paxton has been on for about 20k miles, so far no problems. I have noticed the high-pitch whine has gotten louder that it used to be, especially at low rpm, but no performance issues that I can feel.

Just being proactive here, should there be any maintenance done to the SC, other that the faithful 3k oil changes?

Thanks for the input!

I dont know about s/c's since I am new to them but when a turbo starts t whine the bearings are ready to go out. but on the paxton I can not tell you for sure. I am sure someone with more info on these will chime in.

Not sure about the rebuild life. I'm sure it's around 100k miles if you run it around normal boost application, less if you spin it faster, here's a interesting article on the rebuilds on the units: you should be able to spin the pulley without any roughness or loose play between the pulley and the impeller. if there is get it rebuilt.

Thank you for the responses, anyone else cares to chime in?

To all you guys with higher mile Paxton setups, have you noticed your SC getting a little louder at idle?
