    Hey guys, finally got my GTP up and running, getting ready to go on a 2500 mile trip and am a bit skeptical of taking my GP. The supercharger needs a coupler because it has some rattle at idle. I currently don't have the time to fix as I am leaving tomorrow and I don't have the part yet, would this be of concern to any of you making a trip with that many miles? Thanks for the input guys!! Paul

    the coupler will be fine, change it when you get back.

    Otherwise if its running fine and everything, i wouldnt be worried.

    Just change the oil before you leave( i would atleast, its your call) check tire pressure and all your other fluids to make sure there are topped off.

    Yeah, check all fluids, check tire pressure. I bring a bottle of each fluid I need and a set of tools and what not if I'm going on a trip that long.

    Check all your fluids, inspect all tires. alignment, balance, yada, yada.

    Anything more than 2500 planned miles, i always rent a car.
    But that's all up to you.
