Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Belt tensioner...

[MMeier]

... have a hauler stuck north of town, thought he just lost the belt. Nice guy I am, i stop buy belt, grab serp belt tool and head north 90 miles! Upon looking things over, it appears he had a water pump lock up, which caused the pulley on tensioner to get hot enough to melt half way off ... THEN put a dink in the pulley on the main fan hub! Can you get just the pulleys, or do you have to replace the whole tensioner and the hub??

Although Dayco does sell the tensioner pulley by itself it generally a good idea to replace the whole thing because it can twist as well, which will throw the new belt off later. You can get the part # from this site DAYCO Passenger & Light Truck Applications

He has since had it repaired. Turns out he has been having problems one after the other with his truck and has pretty much decided to hang up trying to haul with it. Sooo... being the nice guy I am my other buddy that was running with him got me into the outfit and I hauled his 47' underground storage tank for him at a moments notice to north of Denver! Boy, over 4300 miles since Sunday at lunch time, Got in this morning at 2 am,left Longmont Colo at 1 PM yesterday and was a close distance to that wickeed tornado ( didn't hear about till later) , blizzard conditions in several spots along I-70 and a bunch of rain!!! Time to try to take it easy this weekend!!!!
