Jon and all, call me , an idiot (it's OK, you won't be the first)
but...
I wasn't going to install my ASP crank pulley today, I was just going
to see what it will take to swap it out. (This is on a '00 Durango)
I yanked the upper fan shroud/coolant resivor/ww resivor and started
feeling around down by the crank pulley to see what bolt size they
were. I am feeling down there, and can't feel anything. All I can
feel is the center balancer bolt. Am I crazy??? It *feels* like the
pulley is an integral part of the balancer, or pressed into it.
WTF?!?!?! Am I nuts, or did I get the wrong pulley from ASP
(#504500)?
Help!!!!!!!
If that isn't bad enough, I started to rotate the tires. I get the
spare down, go into the rear hatch to get my wheel lock key
and.......and.......and.......where the F is it? Calm down. It's
here somewhere....glovebox, nope. OK, it's in the console, nope. OK,
sweat starts, it's in the ashtray, nope. Beads. It's in the map
pocket. Nope. Heartrate. Ah it's in the passenger side, that's it.
Nope. Panic. Maybe I put it in the toolchest with the torque wrench.
Nope. Heartrate, panic, sweat, fast breathing. Look through all the
drawers. Nope. Check then again. Nope. Check them a third time (now
in a complete panic). Nope.
SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH******************TTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, on Monday, I will be contacting my friendly Mopar parts counter
seeing which arm I will have to give them to get a replacement key.
It's been a swell day, and it's not even noon yet!!!!
