[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 682555, member: 1641"] [b]Re: Re: 90's throw back....Manche build[/b] Yes, slips on both ends. I've ran this exact setup for years in two previous rigs. Zero issues. Always carried a spare pillow block that I've never used. Never loosened a set screw. Key is good operating angles with sufficient spline engagement and frequent greasing, so that everything cycles correctly. I know there is a place for the double ended yoke bearings and they serve many people well. But I design around these parameters so that I won't need it. The mega hi 9 certainly helps out with the angles. Fingers crossed; I'm hoping that the forward headers will be less heat concentrated there than traditional units.

That said, the heater will have no need to blow on our feet... it will mainly serve as a defroster. Windshields and winter wheeling bring the suck without defrost... Thanks guys!
