pulley

Well guys I’ve been having a problem with my X running hot threw these summer months. Temp gauge goes 3/4 to the H sometimes more depending on how hot it is outside. I blast the heat gauge goes back down. I’ve check coolant level it’s always full. Changed thermostat 3X made sure that all 3 work...

I have several questions. Today My Aerostar would not start I still had battery juice and it didn't even try to crank. My brother told me to touch metal to the starter while cranking well I put metal on the alternator instead it started right up. 1. Could touching metal to top of alternator...

My stock 7750 3G alternator in my 1995 van is rated at 95 amps which is low compared to more modern vehicles which use 130 to 160 amp alternators. I've looked into 350 to 370 amp alternators but they cost almost $500 which is a huge investment in a 25 year old vehicle. The reason why I'm doing...

I was replacing the fan clutch on my Explorer and decided to go ahead and replace the serpentine belt. After I got everything out, I realized that the idler pulley, which is on my serpentine belt diagram under the hood, is non-existent. I'm not immediately worried, since I've been driving around...

Hey all, As the subject says I need a new water pump pulley for the 5.0 engine. Ford stopped making them and there's no aftermarket support. If tried pick-n-parts places, but the fan clutch is always to seized to take off with adjustable. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hey all, I am not new to the forum, I have had an account since 2008 and lost my password so here I am. I recently upgraded from a 2003 Explorer XLT the died at 200k miles (great vehicle I put 100k miles on it personally). Anyway, I now have a 2013 Explorer Base (with added leather ). I have a...

(( In case anyone asks, this truck has seen 165k+ miles, primarily around the New Jersey coastline where it is really wet & salty. Hence he surface corrosion on nearly everything and the quarter panel )) Originally I replaced this idle pulley yesterday, which had been stuck long enough to...

Hi all, Been struggling to pin down an issue under the hood of my 2002 XLT 4.0L V6. Last week the large coolant hose that runs from the bottom of the coolant reservoir to the bottom of the radiator was CUT and started spewing coolant everywhere! Fun! :confused: I found out that the...

Well, pretty much what the title says. I have a '93 Ranger 4.0L-OHV, 5spd, 4x4. The crank pulley is shot. It hasn't separated yet, but it is dry rotted and cracked, so it is going to be changed tomorrow. I have a brand new Dorman stock-type balancer, which I actually bought for this truck a...

I have a 96 xlt 5.0 AWD and there is a whirring sound that comes and goes when pressing and letting off of the gas pedal, sounds like its on passenger side. I'm not sure what it is but doubt its the bearings (changed some before and doesnt have that kind of sound). Basically Im just looking for...

So I've had my 02 Ford Explorer Sport for about 2 months now. 80,000k miles. Great truck, but I've been battling squeaks coming from the front engine area since I purchased the truck. Replaced belt, tensioner arm, and idler pulley...fixed first squeak. Now, about a month later, another...

Need to replace the harmonic balancer on our 2004 4.0L SOHC. The mechanic has removed the old one and after getting a replacement one, he has told me that the replacement is longer than the old one and won't fit... Are there different size/length pulleys in the 02-05 engines? It doesn't...

Hi Gang. I stop in here once in a while for tech advice (usually lurking) and I need some help. Are there TWO seperate parts between the Idler Pulley and The Tensioner Pulley? I exploded a pulley last night on the way home, and while I have not taken a close look yet, I'm wondering if these...

I'm replacing the bearings on the Tensioner Pulley and Idler pulley. Now-the tensioner pulley spun on its bearing, I had to shut down the quickly. Has anyone done any bearing replacement on the pulleys I mentioned? Do I need to heat up the pulley before I press the bearing in? I might just...
