    Loose harmonic balancer AND crank pulley

    Unfortunately many years ago I was not aware of this engineering defect the pulley bolt came loose spun the pulley on the crank nose beyond use. Had to replace crank. I then pinned the pulley. So far all is good. Beware. Happened at 18,000 miles.

    Soft top in trunk

    Just a heads up. I stored my top in the trunk always and after a couple of years I went to use it and a few holes were worn into my new top from the vibration. Darn. Like 99RT10GTS said, doable.

    AC system blows cold but clutch stays engaged does not disengage at all.

    One thing you could try before troubleshooting is bring the rpm to 2000 and hold there. When I recharged had same problem this worked for me. Good luck.

    Gen 1 Soft Top and Window Trunk Storage

    Just a heads up. If you store the soft top in the trunk for any length of time, just driving around and from the vibration will ware holes in it. I always carried mine in the trunk, brand new, used twice, now has two spots wore through. My top also came in a bag.

    Gen2 RT/10 wiring behind dashboard debug difficult?

    No not the OBDII . It’s a green connector just above the OBDII fastened to the dash just above the bottom lip, not easy to access. Sounds like you’re door harness though. Good luck.

    Gen2 RT/10 wiring behind dashboard debug difficult?

    If you have power and good grounds to the switch and the switch is good there is one more test you can do before working on the wires between the door and door jam if you choose. There is a large green connector under the dash where your left knee is. Disconnect the connector and check for power...

    Gen2 RT/10 wiring behind dashboard debug difficult?

    Power runs through a 25A Circuit Breaker to both window switches. Check for power at the switch and check both grounds at switch plug. One ground for up and one for down. Try wiggling the wire harness where it enters the door and see if you get a reaction.

    Gen2 RT/10 wiring behind dashboard debug difficult?

    Did you check for power at the switch. The wires in the wire harness entering the door are known to become broken. Good luck.

    AC needs recharging every year?

    You most definitely have a leak . I would put some die in the system to verify where . I am currently replacing the seal on my compressor, the die I added worked well and confirmed the leaking seal. Good luck.

    Main bearings

    Replacing the main bearings with clevite H series . These bearings have a full slot on the upper half . The slot is narrower than the oil hole restricting oil flow . Anyone dealt with these or have some input. Doesn't seem right ,am I wrong. A few pictures .
