Not many "known" or specific aftermarket parts for a Yaris, LOL. I'll have to measure and look. The alternator I am running is actually out of a Scion. You can see there are 2 unused ribs on the pulley. The factory alternator is an 80 amp, and the Scion has a 100 amp. I like my music, so I made the 100 amp work.... because again, no aftermarket stuff for this thing. It's a weird feeling to not be able to find anything. I've even thought about trying to get a 130 amp 3G alternator to work in there.

Yes it is.... John Fox was the head coach here too. This is the game that Manning called out the scoreboard operator for playing music, and also showing Phillip Rivers jawing with some fans (they were throwing stuff at him) while he was trying to call plays.

No gaming or high-load file transfers, just standard home use (internet surfing, Netflix, music streaming, video camera look-ins, etc.) and remote office use. I'm considering the RT-AC86U. Any other (better) options I should consider?
Do you have a firmware update available for it?

EDIT: Looks like there is... depending on how they do their dates, this was released in June, or October, LOL.

White, I had the same situation with a belt on my old black truck after I put on a new/used alternator a while back. The belt walked out of alignment because it was an 8 rib pulley on a 6 rib belt. Once it was closer to the block it went right back to being quiet.

I don't think this is an alignment issue... I measured a lot to make the appropriate spacing, LOL. With this belt only being a 4 rib, I think it would probably fall off, but I'll check it again.

White: Firmware is the latest (June). I haven't found others complaining about this, but I'm wondering if I should try down-grading.

It's worth a shot.... could save you a little money.

FWIW, I've been buying nothing but TP-Link Business Solution stuff exclusively as of late. It's really good stuff, and not too expensive. I just got 6 access points, the Cloud Controller, and a 24 port POE+ switch (with 4 SFP Slots) for about 500 dollars. I'b be WAAAAY above that going with Cisco/Meraki.


Also, I just found this video. This is exactly what mine is doing. Looks like a bit of a PITA to change, but doable.

Must be a regular mechanic now. Well, looks like that's the problem white.

I don't get anything from the link except a hypnotizing dot going in a circle.

My mistake. You said Yaris but I only heard Mustang.
