Fixed! They put in a Mopar pump, pully and serp belt. Charged me for serp belt, wouldn't let me pay for the rest.

new buggy exceeded my expectations on the first black trail. thing is nuts. i have much to learn how to drive.
shake down results:
-slight clearance issue with aluminum tin on left front air shock
-power steering pump whine- needs return to tank port moved to reduce airation, and or better fluid, and or better pump. but tolerable.
-transmission protection in tune- only gives you about 1/3 power if your bound and 0 wheel RPM. floggs if wheels are rotating. not a converter stall or boost issue- def a GM protection issue of the 4t45.
-slight bent rear lower link already- may need to up size to 2 or 2.5" 7075 lower links
-RAM guards needed front and rear
otherwise, its a blast to drive and i think once i learn to drive it, its going to be quite the capable rig.
had a set of like new 42s delivered to park. that hurt, and i dont want to talk about it haha
