new parts to install

[NukeGM/Ford]

The bolt should be marked to indicate reverse thread.
Some have an CC arrow imprinted on the bolt head...

thanks

Universal bolt marking for reverse thread is notched corners on face of bolt.
It IS absolutely reverse threaded. Had many guys have to but a tensioner by stripping threads while breaking loose wrong way :rofl:

thanks, didn't know that

Been forever since I've seen one with an arrow but I do recall now. Most have the faces the socket/wrench attaches to marked with little notches. Good info

now that i know which way it goes i'm willing to get a little more aggressive, didn't want to snap it off going the wrong way before.

came off easy as pie


SOB!!!! now the new belt for the under drive pulley won't go on dammit!!!

its missing by half an inch of getting over the edge of the pulley. i have the tensioner pulled all the way over to the pass fender and all the ribs are seated on each pulley. i'm assuming i'm routing it correctly since there is no diagram available. i'm running it the logical way and the way i remember, of course that was 2 months ago…………….

do the numbers on the pulleys indicate an order to install belt?? i have the routing correct but was trying to get it over the alternator as the last one since it was the smallest and easiest to get to……………..

maybe it would be easier to slide over the water pump since it has no ridges??


when i changed the belt on my 05 hemi it was a breeze……… or i just got lucky??

have to try after work today

Finally seeing progress on my list. Next up r the long bars . Any RC out there with them? ? Does your frame look like this? ? How did your front bracket sit in relation to this weld?? I have my him joints screwed half way in but I don't know if screwing them all the way in will shorten the bar up enough

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Thread heims into bar halfway, attach rear bracket, then bar to that bracket. Bar will hang towards front. Attach bracket to heim/bar and lift into place on frame and our jack stands or jack under them to hold in position while pilot holes are marked.
Your spot looks like money. I'd attach bracket and heim and raise to frame to double check though boss.

 

[NukeGM/Ford]

Had to bolt them right behind the weld where the two pieces of the frame come together (I would of thought that the frame would of been 1 piece all the way though )
The forward section of the frame was too wide for the bracket but I had to screw the heim joints in over 3/4 of the way on each end to get it to line up with the bracket hole .

On a side note I almost electrocuted myself. I forgot that I had run the positive battery cable up through the frame rail. Happened to look towards the rear of the truck right before the drill went through the frame, battery cable sitting on the bottom of frame rail right where the bolt goes through, that would be a video for tv!!!

long bars in, on to the next item

i took the drivers inner fender and battery box out for more room
moved the battery to the rear. was going to make a plate to support the fuse box and ABS box but decided to put the battery box back in

now i'm stuck twirling this cruise control module and some other little thing trying to figure out how they fit under the battery box. lots of screw holes under the battery box but none of them seem to line up correctly

anybody ever take a close-up pic of this area?? even if it just looks towards the drivers side from the passenger side that i can get a glimpse of the cruise control to see what angle it sits at?? or a pic from a service manual if someone has one???

anybody put aftermarket hood on their trucks?? rephrase that, a regular ram hemi engine type hood on their trucks?? i assume the V1 hoods were done EXACTLY like the SRT hood.

the hood latch area on my new hood is slightly different than the SRT one and was wondering if someone had dealt with this before. Are the regular ram hoods/radiator support cross member different than ours?? i don't have a pic of my Daytona radiator with the SRT hood. I wouldn't think they were different from the saving money standpoint on Ma Mopar end??

pics to follow
