I'm leaning towards gates HD belt since the ac delco is out of stock. do you think the belt being slightly longer will cause slip? figure the tensioner will have a bit less tension.
I ordered gates
Great find
I’m sure the AC del o will work, it’s closest to the size we need. 14mm more. But the gates is just 4mm bigger than what we need. I think the tensioner should take care of that. I may order the AC delco just to be safe too.
Brave man having the dealer do it lol.
I know but they were less expensive than the few other places I checked and figured if they screwed it up I would have some leverage.
I am guessing they are saying it also voids your powertrain warranty? Or are they one of the few "cool" dealers?
I ended up checking with my dealer and they had me call Stellantis/Ram regarding any warranty issues and Stellantis told me would not void the warranty on the truck, only that they would not warranty the new parts. The dealer would not do the work if Stellantis had said it would void the full warranty. The key is that it does not add additional HP, only that it makes full use of what the truck has by reducing the heat soak. In the end, it is really a 1” gasket versus a very thin gasket.
100% that's correct, just a thicker gasket, engine isn't doing anything it isn't already capable of doing you are just giving it a way better fighting chance of doing it without all the heat issues and the factory boost leak.
So how did you make out with dealer install? Any hiccups? This is my next mod for sure.
They are not done yet - had them doing a few other odds and ends. I suspect will be done sometime tomorrow. Will let you all know
Got the truck back this morning, only had a chance to drive from the dealer to my office, in heavy traffic, so cannot yet comment too much on what I see yet. I did note two things
$726 out the door
