Water Pump Pulley "Play"?
My serpentine belt "let go" while driving my 2001 Sport Trac 4.0L. I replaced the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, but chirp and another sound (clacking?) remain. I noticed the belt will not stay in the grooves of the crank pulley. The harmonic balancer/pulley assembly looks ok and I don't detect any play or looseness in the pulley.
However, the water pump/fan pulley DOES have play when I move a fan blade back and forth, between engine and radiator. Should this pulley have play like that?
Thanks for any feedback.
