So the bolt Blown was referring to looks like this for anyone who is interested. Easy to get to and great for holding the crank!

Had to shave multiple areas opposed to some others who had to grind down only one area on the right side of the pulley. Yeah I know...but a little JB weld and she was good to go!

Default Then lightning strikes!

During my last test fit a part of the pulley installer got stuck in the crank! I freaked out for a few minutes and tried pulling it out in so many different ways but to no avail. Fortunately I found a shop that said they would give it a shot and re-thread if needed. So off it went! This little guys was turning both ways but not coming out!
Thanks to USAA it was free. It was funny because the driver commented how big the truck was and when he started sliding his ramp up it lifted his truck off the ground! I tried to take a picture but I was too late.

A couple hours later they called me and stated all was good! I was so relieved 👍👍👍! They stated only the first couple of threads were damaged. I had them throw on the pulley and belt so I could drive it home and then would install the fan myself. What a day. You can see where I had to gind in more than one place.
Love all the room without the fans. Efans are next.

Thanks again to Blown for helping along the way.

Boost is definitely improved but my tuner told me not to get on it (WOT) until they can retune it again. I will post new numbers when I get it done.

Glad you were able to get your truck sorted out.

Correct me I'm wrong but it also appears that I have less belt slippage compared to the previous run.

Any chance the shop will give you a dyno sheet corrected for sea level?
