pulley wobble....

[scoobert]

how much pulley wobble is too much?
started the truck one last time before i pick it up in 3 weeks for the summer.

i noticed this:


is that normal wobble?

 

[Smokey]

are you talking about the tentioner and its side to side movement?

 

[scoobert]

oh, woops, crank pulley.
i know its a bad video, i could not see on the LCD if you could see the pulley moving or not.
the first 1 second is the best.

 

[Smokey]

i cant see it moving at all, looking down the ribs it looks stationary

 

[scoobert]

look at the back edge of the pulley itself, perhaps 1/16" of movement...

Have you tried tightening it? If its loose its BAD

its still in storage. not coming out until may. i don't like salt on my sports cars (and for the first time, sport truck)

Check it to see if the pulley bolt is tight... these trucks are notrious for the crank pulley bolt backing out....

 

[scoobert]

yeah, last year i did not realize that, i had a mechanic take out the baliencer(sp) bolts and locktite them all, never had him check the crank bolt.....

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

Ya there has been alot of priblems with that bolt

There is only 1 balancer bolt. The others are for the pulley.

 

[scoobert]

so, did i tighten the correct one then? i am confused now.

 

[SANCHOBA]

the large center one is the one you should check
