I also say no engine cover.. it looks so nice without it. It also wont trap the heat under the cover either. Lets it breath a little better

I think I'm going to need a new belt tensioner though
Started it up this morning and I wouldn't say there was squealing but more of a chirping lol went away about 15 minutes later after it warmed up

I'm sure it's the tensioner since I left it sitting outside for a few days and it got rained on
Any thoughts? I'll try to get a video later or tomorrow morning.

I'm out and about just cruising in the monte... I go to make a right turn on a back road and accidently cut off a 2500 HD so i get on it and I look back to see a cloud of black smoke... So i know he probably got pissed he didn't catch up though! i then realized I was at 90MPH already my monte pulls real good now lol anyways this wasn't meant to happen, I'm trying to baby it but it's just so much fun haha
