    Idler pulley (torque spec) & Clutch fan delete (what's the purpose)

    @Lu87 I just went hand tight and then just a touch past that. I seen somewhere that it calls for 21 ft/lbs but @crackerjack1957 wrote on this post above that it takes 30 ft/lbs. I know for a fact that it is NOT 45 ft/lbs haha!

    Idler pulley (torque spec) & Clutch fan delete (what's the purpose)

     UPDATE: I did have to take off the fan shroud & clutch fan as I did not have enough room in the area to use the extractor bit attached to my impact drill. Which is ok because I'm doing the clutch fan delete mod anyways... So YouTube has always been a great tool for me ;) But it can also get you...

    color matching chrome bumpers?

    @blackbetty14 Thank you for digging deeper into this conversation and finding other threads & the picture. Looking at that picture I am not a fan of that flare being a 2-piece. Would it be more appealing painted, maybe..? Also, I would agree with you on the flares having a "gap" where the 2...

    color matching chrome bumpers?

    @blackbetty14 Well i want a painted steel bumper and those exact fender flares. I really like the look of the flare coming all the way down compared to stopping at the bottom of the headlight or the ones that stop at the top of the steel bumper (like yours.) No disrespect to anyone that have...

    Idler pulley (torque spec) & Clutch fan delete (what's the purpose)

    Well you have to start somewhere haha. Before I have it towed to a shop I will be trying a bolt extractor that will fit on a drill. For example: Alden Grabit Pro I'll keep you guys updated and will try to get pictures

    color matching chrome bumpers?

    @blackbetty14 your new bumpers look awesome! Can't wait to see them on your truck. I prefer the steel bumper but I don't want all that chrome. I want to put the Rough Country fender flares on my truck (see attached image) but I think I have to go with the Sport style bumper because there is no...

    Idler pulley (torque spec) & Clutch fan delete (what's the purpose)

    It is barely recessed in the hole. And what I was thinking was.. If I could adhere the head of the bolt back onto the stem of the bolt and reverse it out of the hole. But IDK if any epoxy would be able to handle the torque. It was just a spit balling idea

    Idler pulley (torque spec) & Clutch fan delete (what's the purpose)

    Guys I need your input. But first let me give you some backstory: I heard some squealing noise coming from under the hood of my 2009 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7 Hemi. I pinpointed it to the idler pulley. Which I replaced and I replaced the serpentine belt while I was there. In doing so this fixed the...

    5th gen hood on a 4th gen?

    I was wondering the same thing and looking it up led me to your post. To bad nobody knows the answer. You would think after almost 3 years someone would have tried this and put the answer on here. Ill keep digging...
