thanks for clearin that up xtreemmee.

and thanks everybody for chiming in so far.

 

okay i think ive got it now, thanks tried. haha, i did infact think the tension bolt holds the pulley on, and i thought it was on a "track" and when you loosened the adjuster bolt, the tention of the belt would move the pulley down and release the tension.

wich i guess thats kinda how it works, but you hafta loosen the tension bolt first

 

you mean loosen the jam nut.

 

yeah, whatever the frig its called

 

Nutty

 

Like a PB and jam sandwich!


oh wait, that was corny...

 

can we just get this thread deleted and forget about us being nutty and tried being fruity?

 

"NEW, from Fritto Lay, ......Corny-Nutty-Jam Flavored Tension Relief Nuts!" So you're good to go now, Junk?

 

BFH = enormous fornicating striking device

 

hahah only from a former Marine.

 

haha, this thread is quite entertaining!!!

but on a happy note, i got the pulley loosened, that nut in the center of the pulley did the trick.

i got my fan off and the cowl off so im ready to get working tomorrow.

ill get some pics tomorrow hopefully.

now time to open a bag of those new frito-lay's and watch tv

 

That nut has driven more than one yota nut nuts!
This nut included!
(8

 

got my alternator in today!! pics will come tomorrow.

what a releif considering tomorrows snow storm.

 

Once you know how to do it simple really!!

For the most everybody thought you had all ready had that bolt loose and just couldn`t get the pulley loose

 

not me, lol, I didn't even know that that jam nut on the center of the pulley even needed to be loosened. lmao.

 

Mr. Junk..... Why so? Did you park in that ditch again ...and were concerned you wouldn't be able to find her the next day, had you not got her going again? lol. OH YEAH, make sure you have a Corn-Nut/Nutty/Fruity-JamWich today so you have plenty of energy and keep down the Tension while you're frolicking in the snow, k?

Have a great one, Homie...and stay safe out there in the White Wonderland, k?

PS> I FIXED MY 'NO HEAT' Problem!

 

heres some pics...got the bolt loosened



removed the fan, belts, shroud, and the power steering pulley, (took off the power steering pulley to comfortably get to the alternator bracket bolt)

eww dirty



eww dirty alternator...





new (used)cleaner alternator.



cleaned shroud.



and about 10 mins of busy work later, she started right up, no more altnerator light, and i hit 223,330.


(idk if you can read that lol)

here she was last night





and here she is today, at the beginning of the snow, around 3:30

 

hey, mr. chefyota!! long time no hear!!

but, my truck is the only 4x4 at my house, and with 12-18 on the roads, they probably wouldnt get cleared for about 3 days, making the roads impassible for 2wd...

and idk about you, but im not walking 5 miles in a foot of snow, carrying a 50 lb. cow feed bag, uphill with wind.

lol, jk, but i wanted to make sure i could feed the cows.

but thank good shes running, being at home and knowing i cant leave makes me feel so claustraphobic, atleast i know if i have to go somehwere other then the cow pen i can get there, like if we run out of food or something idk.

 

forgot to mention, without a belt tension mesurer, setting the belts to the right tension was tough, when i first cranked it, it started but sounded like it was struggling, so i shut it off loosened the belt, and still it was struggling, so i loosened the alternator belt, so now one belt is soo loose its squeeling and slipping, and the other is too tight for the engine to run. about 6 tries later, and one belt too loose and one belt too tight problems, i finally got it right. when it snows, i usually take off my power steering as an aid to keep myself "more focused on the road, and to what im doing", but after that fiasco, i think ill drive with my power steering on this time.

 

I gotta ask is that your overflow hanging under the right side??
