Trekker/TrailBlazer Stuff: Good Reading!!

[slacker]

so calculated my fuel economy this evening .. from this last trip , I avereged 24 MPG .. I know the tires throw the speedo off ,and all that stuff .. so I guess I will have to calculate it from a " map" milage .. to get a more accurate # ..

I also noticed some "belt squeel" so I ordered the URD pulley to replace the stock one .. it should add 1-2 lbs of boost as well

so I have decided not to put the URD pully on just yet .. but I did want to change the oil in the nose , so a little "how to" or how I did mine .

locating the oil plug is the first thing .. on the second gen (black supercharger) is is located on the front right of the nose just behind and below the hose bracket



I started by removing the bracket to allow more room



and proceeded to remove the plug



There are a few different ways to do this , I chose to use my brake line bleader



worked great , old oil removed





I removed 80ml of oil , so this is what I replaced
I used a IV style to do so



but it all back together , and tightened up the tensioner .. and DONE
