I give up belt issue?

[vzdude]

Sure what it looks like to me as well 95cummins - I am guilty of doing that a time or two when in dire need, but that looks pretty excessive! Never noticed any of the couple ones I did being pulled against the bolt heads like that either......

My belt always squeaks and it s brand new I just learned to deal with it

Check your balancer and make sure it's not coming apart.

X2 my first thought. That could make for a bad day.

Goodyear gator back belt is the only way to go to stop squeaks, unless there is a bearing issue.

By your pictures, your fan pulley has walked. The belt is still in the wear area of the water pump and there looks to be too much room behind the pulley( dozens of KDP's done and I know what a PITA it is to get to those bolts.)

I will pull it off and check the fan pulley and rebuild or replace then. I appreciate the help fellas will report back once I have the fan pulley done.

Who's green belt? Gates, Goodyear?

Mine is a gates green belt.

ive heard the squeak-at-stop is helped by the Gates HD (green) version but I haven't tried...

I have a green belt I just put on, but I'm planning to remove my A/C components. Do they make a Non-A/C green belt? I've tried searching, but can't find it.

the fan pulley should be about 1/8 off the back bolt if more than that check and adjust pulley

Have been getting mine at AZ but has been a while. I think I remember Car Quest was able to get them.

Update worked all weekend on a ppump 24v instead of mine. I should have time to get it figured out this thursday.

The ac pulley has roughly 1/8in play in it that was normal without the clutch engaged I figured?

Not normal.. pulley shouldn't move.

I don't think Goodyear gatorbacks are made anymore.

 

[spooled mule]

I believe it is either the fan clutch pulley or the ac pulley. Damper and alternator and new tensioner seem a ok perfect. I will know this week and hope its not a massive pita.

 

[JJeepyjohn]

Check the bearing play on the fan pulley. Assuming you still have the stock fan clutch and fan on it.

Bummer. If they are no longer made then I am real glad I have a spare.

A/c clutch!!I had the same thing except mine made noise when I engaged the clutch on the a/ c compressor. I pulled belt and a/ c clutch had 1/4in play replaced it and been fine ever since.
