Life after the Roe

[Rickspeed]

Well in a couple of months it will be a year since I put the Roe on, and I can't complain, no major issues, and just took it on a long trip, and got better gas milage than when my truck was N/A. But there is only 1 thing that's been bothering me. When the truck shifts it makes like a squeak noise, sounds like a power steering pump noise but last maybe 3 seconds during shift. Any ideas what it could be? Belt slip?

Please go see Chuck Tator. Have you checked the rack and pinion?

I swear, this forum is a bad influence. Rick you actually had me looking into buying a new ROE setup just now until I snapped back into reality. I'm sure it's a damn god reliable system and the price is great for the power. But for someone that never races and CLAIMS one day he will, when I know I won't, it'll be a waste of cash for sure.

Probably belt slip if it's happening only during shifts or sudden rpm drops.

i have the same trouble with my ford F150! sounds like belt squeal when it shifts. i havn't figured it out yet!:dontknow:

 

[eddie102870]

get you another belt and belt tensioner. mine used to do it. especially when i washed it and got water on the belts

 

[originalsleepersrt10]

What rpm are you shifting at? Full throttle? My belt slips at about 5000rpm under full throttle. It appears to be slipping at the water pump. I have a new Goodyear Gatorback belt I have yet to install that I hope will cure the problem.

If this is your issue as well, Sean Roe will have the belt's part number. I am out of town, so I can't get the number for you.

I am running a 10psi pulley on a Roe.

I have the same issue. I do have a 7lb pulley, changed to a slightly smaller belt, which seemed to stop it for a few months, but back to slipping a little if I goose it.

I plan to swap out the tensioner sometime this year.

 

[ICPREY]

Yea my 5lb Roe does the same thing...I was told by the previous owner that Sean at Roe sells an additional pulley to eliminate the slipage. I haven't checked with him yet though.

 

[Rickspeed]

I put the gatorback belt on last night, hoping to take it for a spin over the weekend.

More power--whether you are racing or not, is never a waste of money.
