Take a real close look at your harmonic balancer. I have one seperating at the rubber seam. The outer ring is moving rearward carrying the belt with it and my belt is rubbing (and squeeling) against the timing chain cover. Harmonic balancers fail in this way. I have been chasing the sqeel for months and spotted it last weekend when underneath. Check yours out just to be sure.

I finished installing my 4 1/2 inch AAL in the rear and it looks sweet. Can't wait to start the front lift tommorrow.

Well yesterday when tracking his oil leak, I took off the front skid plate and started to search. I came up with the valve cover so I checked all of the bolts. Low and behold, the front most drivers side bolt could have been taken out by hand. So I tightened all of them back down. Just as I was about to ask how tight I should go, snap....... I broke the bolt off. So I got it out this morning with an easy out, which worked very well to my surprise. Now it's time for a new bolt and spark plugs and cap and rotor.

Got my police pillar spotlight all mounted up for playing (and night wheeling/helping pull out lol), and finshed removing the doors (atleast the fronts for now):
