• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Dose any one know the proper torque for the rear axel nut. I have heard any thing fom 96 ft/lb to to 161 ft/lb. Dose any one know for sure. I changed the rear tire and pulled it up to 100 ft/lbs. all. All seems fine, just need to know if it's tight enough.
 
161 ft/lbs is insane. That is way over torquing that bolt. There's a cotter pin so it ain't going anywhere if it loosens up.
 
2013's Belt Tension different too

My 2013 RT Owner's manual Page 168) says 123 N•m to 137 N•m (91 lbf•ft to 101 lbf•ft) for rear Axle torque.
 
Agree...

96lbs and if you went to 100 your good. Have not seen or heard of any failing at the recommended 96lbs adding close to 70lbs is overkill...imho
