I've got the same feeling, i'm just wondering why now, and why 2 of the
pulleys, both failing less than a day apart??
My truck is a little more than 2.5 years old, and as most of you know, i am
VERY hard on it. I have gone on many other 4-wheelin adventures, other than
the 2 times at Jon's place, and have gotten the Dak just as muddy/wet as
well, maybe even more. The fact that the pulleys failed in such a short
time span, has got me quite puzzled.
The only thing that i can think of is that when the first one went, it
possibly damaged the second..... But i really have no idea, because the 2nd
didn't show any evidence of damage, i think i would have seen it given the
amount of time my friend and i spent looking at, and fixing the first
pulley.

I wouldn't mind hearing some more causes for this though.

Two words, figure it out.....
