I don't think you ticked anybody off, either, and I think the general consensus is we just don't know why this is happening, either. It seems like you're doing everything right, so what else is there to do? I don't know.

The only other thing I might postulate is, could there be something that's holding the free travel of the belts back? Like if one of the accessories is going bad and the truck is having to work against the force to turn the belts? I have no clue.

P.S., it takes a he!! of a lot more than that to p!$$ off FastEddy.
