I've got a new (custom) Crank Pulley being built for the M to get the water pump back up to stock speed, so I know what you mean. I am running the PS pump faster than stock though. The March Power Pulleys slowed the Water Pump and Alternator down, but when I had to get belt clearance for the radiator hose (drivers side lower return hose) I had to have a smaller PS Pump pulley made. I figured at slow speeds it would actually give me a little more "power" to the steering for off roading. The truck runs a little warm at highway speeds, and when push it hard in the mud she gets a little hot. New Core in the radiator, and a high volume shrouded fan, and new 15 psi radiator cap, so it's time for a new pulley.
An M, well what rout are you going to take her? Stock, V-8 Gas, Cummings Diesel, or perhaps electric? You will enjoy the M. the ride is a little nicer, and they are lots of fun.
WV, that's a trip. I forgot when? It would be great to see a few of the PW gang (and you as well). I'm headed back to the the Bad Lands in Indiana this Saturday with the Mid IL Jeep Club (Jon and Jill's Jeep club), and then next weekend to Don Scott's annual vintage truck trail ride, and then the same weekend to meet up with Roger for the Fall Crawl at Flat Nasty! Then I'll have to stay close to home (or MI) waiting for the 2nd Grand Daughter to arrive.
Work this past 12 months has been different. I'm still at GSI, but working on a Special Project back doing Business re-engineering and business computer systems/applications. I guess that's what I get for being an Engineer, who also knows Computers and Overall Business Practices/Processes.
