Looking good, What's next to get hydro-dipped?
Thanks!
Next? Nothing on my car for a while ... I want to paint my calipers some color that will soften the outside darkness of the car, and also looking into changing the wheels again, lol
Looking good, What's next to get hydro-dipped?
Installed the new belt tensioner that finally arrived today (rockauto order, went for the cheap DHL-involved shipping which turned out to be a clusterfuck, DHL delivering it to the local Post Office which then took 2 days to bring it to me).
Went to install the new main serpentine belt, it was over a foot too short.
What sucks is that I ordered the "main belt" as they listed, same part number that Tasca's site was also showing as being the main belt.
I didn't order the accessory belt, which I would think to be the belt that only runs the A/C compressor.
I'm now returning that belt and buying a Gates belt from the local O'Reilly in the morning, so I can finally finish putting the car back together
New belt inside the old belt:

Called the local Ford dealership, turns out the belt I need is a BR3Z-8620-D, not this BL3Z-8620-D, and that BR3Z part number came up after I told the part person the engineering part number that was on the old belt, BR3E-8620-KA
Tasca's screen, showing the belt I needed as being the part I ordered, which is stupid short:

Nothing.
I picked up 2 Gates K060825RB Blue Hypo belts (6 rib)for the blower side. If I get time this week a 170* thermostat and belt on before the AM Saturday show. They are the equivalent to the green 10 rib belts.
