Clutch was recently replaced, using parts from Marlin. I had been wondering about the fan clutch, alternator, power steering, etc. I guess when everything's apart for the timing chain it can be poked and prodded, looking for something out of whack. A while back the idler pulley bearing in the A/C went bad, but that caused a noise at all times. Thanks to 4Crawler to helping me get that replaced; I also changed the power steering idler pulley at the same time.

And yes, still the OEM Aisin hubs.

I enjoy a good mystery, just not in my rig!
