Are the cougar guys having this same problem? I'd imagine so.

If they implemented the ability for librication I.E. grease fitting that would signifigantly increse service life. Problem is that they are not heat treated splines and they cannot cope with angulation - 'nuff said

Simon, looks exactly like mine! I sent it off to Vortech a couple weeks back. My splines weren't completely worn off yet, but awfully damn close. I'm thinking of giong the cryo treat route before I install the new pieces.

Rick I had a 2 hour drive to get it home to where I could remove it. That would explain the total lack of splines  When I do get it reinstalled, I am going to keep the stock belt with me, so I can bypass the blower if it ever happens again.

On a good note Simon. My totally new S/C just showed up via UPS this morning. About a 2 week turnaround!

Thats promising. They must be getting pretty good at diagnosing them and sending them back...or else they are just saying,"oh F***, not another one. pack up a new one and send it back."  Sending mine off tomorrow, so hopefully I wont have to wait too long. Might try a cryo treat the shaft as well. Good luck

Rick What the hell Rick? I sent mine before you. I sent mine three weeks ago and have yet to see anything. I did tell Vortech to install S-trim gears instead of that SQ-crap. Hopefully this is why.

If they're custom building it for you, that's no doubt why it's taking longer. The one Rick got back was a totally different unit with the updated shaft. Looks like they are doing the "Oh Fire trUCK, here's another one" bit and sending out already rebuilt units.

I called them today to see what the deal was and the phones are busy, so I am going to give it a try later.
