hatcity Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Heard a strange noise from the motor today. Open the hood and the A/C belt(yes it was hot here today) is jumping and missing. Shut the engine and take a look. Belt is missing teeth and starting to seperate. OK, cut it off and continue the day. Go to NAPA, get a new belt. PIA to replace as you have to remove fan, and main belt. Had it done in a few minutes. Start it up again and check that belts are lined up nice.What the hell? water pump is wet, bottom only. Thought was that maybe belt had hit the fitting and lossened it a little. Tighten again, start. NOPE. weep hole is where it's coming from.Replaced water pump about 2 years ago. PIA also with the pulleys off and on, remove fan and coolant.Need to call MACK in the morning. Hopefully they have one with the pulleys on.Machine shop up the street did it last time, $25 cash 15 minutes.Looks like saturday is booked now.

BAD DOG Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 If it's got tits or tires it's going to give you trouble sometimes, but both are a lot of fun sometimes too. Just gotta take the good with the bad I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
