Most of the time, a TB failure is caused by failure of a roller, the WP bearing, or the tensioner. The chances of an inspection catching one of these things are pretty small.

You'll be due at 103k. With a 1500 mile grace period to 104.5k. - bubba j 2008-09-24 06:27:07 (27 views)

Yes, had problems at 40k, ha...had it replaced at a fair price, now covered under.... - blackfnTTruck 2008-09-24 04:09:09 (50 views)

I think the point is that they are going to tell you to change it every 40k. - bubba j 2008-09-24 06:23:25 (31 views)

Yes, expect that to happen. That will be another 4 or 5 years for me. - blackfnTTruck 2008-09-24 06:50:45 (26 views)

Some have, some haven't. Some were told to replace it, some were told it was fine... - BTTI 2008-09-23 19:36:31 (33 views)

I'd be looking at a Gen 2 blue controller, used primarily in sport (vs. competition) mode. - JimR 2008-09-24 16:08:39 (24 views)

The "competition" controller does not disengage under braking. This can be good for the track - bubba j 2008-09-24 06:26:33 (51 views)

Is that true, on that last? - JimR 2008-09-24 16:09:33 (18 views)
