As some of you know I was having some problems with my KB

While it never failed, It was using tons of oil, and had developed some slop in the front nose cone section. So I sent it in to Kenne Bell a few weeks ago and when I got home it was back.

I have had it on my truck for 2.5 years, and I had no idea if they would cover the repairs since the warrenty was long over. Well it is all fixed and they covered the repairs for free.

I talked to them today to see what they had to do to it. All it needed was some new seals, and the phenolic coupler that conects the pulley to the rotor pacs.

I have not put it back on, but I can tell it spins a lot smoother, all the slop is gone.

So I will put it back on this weekend, then I will be off to Jersey to get rid of my ProM and get a SCT mass air meter.

So look out at FFW up in Epping the beast will be back

 

Oh Vinnie you can have your Heaton Back



Thanks for the loaner

 

Smart move on their part taking care of a guy that has alot to do with the Lightning community. They would be insane not to. The last thing they need is an anti KB post. Nice to see KB step up to the plate.

Glad you'll be back in buisness buddy.

 

maybe the KB bashing crowd will be quiet for a day...

Glad you are up and running Don...

 

only problem now is what happens when some other poor ***** sends his back and get's charged and starts faxing copies of this post to them

 

Hey anyone have a ported upper plenum they want to sell?????????????

Now that I got the KB back, might as well get more air into it.

 

If it at all fits the budget, you need the JLP sheetmetal intake. It was worth over 1 psi of boost on mine going from a C&L upper, which is at least as good as a fully-ported stocker. The extra boost proves you have a restriction at the intake with even the ported stock one or a C&L on a high boost truck.

I know they work awesome, but it is just so ugly

 

That's great to hear Don!

Smart move by KB

Thats what we like to hear!

Peace,

Suavy

 

agreed, how can I replace this:




with that sheet metal... I don't get to the track quite enough to make it worth it to me

 

Don
I got some stuff that I made sitting here. You might want to see some pictures of it. I think it worked good as a matter of fact it maybe worked really good

Alrighty then!

Hey Don , what kinda play did you have in the pulley, mine has some slight play when you turn the pulley by hand you can turn the pulley slightly without it turning the rotors. I have the blower on the workbench probally be there a while till i get the motor installed, I should send it in to get checked out. Cucamonga is only 5.5 hours away maybe i should drive over and drop it off.

 

Great news Don. Glad to hear they took care of you.

 

Ya that sounds about what mine had.

I do have to admitt 2.5 years, many miles and many 1/4 mile passes. All it needed was some seals and a coupler. Pretty good if you ask me.
