About 2 weeks ago, my truck exhibited some issues just as I was coming back to my apartment. Opened the hood and saw pieces of belt on the engine, figured that was the incorrect place for my belt to even be at let alone having pieces.
Got new tensioner pulley, two idler pulleys and of course a new serpentine belt.
Now the game, can anyone tell me what is wrong with these two pulleys? Yes, they are both old and they both came off at the same time.
Bonus question, kind of hard to see but this was the belt I replaced.
If you were able to guess the pulley is missing in the first picture, congratulations!
If you were able to guess the belt missing chunks out of it for the bonus question, you were on your A game today!
Wasn't bad though, did the entire job in an hour, 30 mins for the pulleys to be removed and new ones put on. Then another 30 mins to work on the serpentine belt, probably could have gone quicker had I had a second pair of hands to hold the flashlight.
