Damn. This isn’t that bad.

With some help from the wife, looks like the PS tensioner is the cause of the noise, but apparently the AC idler is gone too. Go ahead and get them both while I’m at it.

Probably press in a new bearing if I can find one rather than buying a whole new pulley.

Edit- thank you all for the troubleshooting tips.

Cheapest one I could find anywhere. Works like a charm

 

Thank you

 

Buy new, spend the time you would have spent changing the bearing drinking beer.

What I noticed with these trucks is 99% of the time it's the simplest part (usually cheapest) causing the problem. "Change your alternator, ac compressor, ps pump and do the timing belt while your at it just to be on the safe side" the internet says, but usually it's a $12 idler pulley.

 

mud = liquid sandpaper

 

The best mechanic I ever had the pleasure of working with preached "Start looking at the easiest stuff first".

 

For $12 no doubt. The parts house wanted $33 though. No thanks.

 

Looks like the Alabama guys had quite a bit of snow at Choccolocco for their toy drive run.

 

You got a S/C???

 

Time to turbo the 3rz?

I’m probably one of about 10 people in the world who is slower than the 2.7L

I’ll get where I’m going, eventually.

 

Looking at Christmas stuff and found this.

Anyone around here have a turbo 3rz? or 5VZ for that matter

AND HOW DO I GET TW TO STOP SENDING ME EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS?

 

The reviews for that are hilarious! People need to lighten up!

 

I am offended that you aren’t offended

 

Fiddle with your settings. I got annoyed by that as well and stumbled upon it
