    Take the motor regulator out and remove the cover of the gears , Clean it real well as you will see dry grease inside . Go to hardware store and get your self (3 )1/4" nuts , Add 3 nuts per motor that will allow it to to lock when you push the power up and down . It's one of the oldest tricks...

    V Belt and tensioner

    Well the Lock not from the back to hole the center tensioner bolt did not work as the nut is 2 large for the space in the back of the bracket ... My other op is Either Heli Coil or If some one have a spare bracket for 93 7.3 Idi with the open spring tensioner and want to part with it...

    V Belt and tensioner

    Put every thing back together including the washer which i highly recommend not ( It caused more unnecessary gap ) It also caused the center bolt not to lock to needed torque spec . Any way the belt set right on and perfectly aligned up .. But Now i need a tensioner bracket or Heli Coil it...

    V Belt and tensioner

    IDIoit : The housing of the closed spring have to cast alum studs sticking out as i compared it at the parts store with the open spring , These 2 studs need to set in the grove area designed in the late model 94 and up to secure the tensioner , My 93 does not have that design

    V Belt and tensioner

    You Are right and correct about using the new closed design pulley tensioner style , I have to change the bracket . I also went with the NAPA part like you said since it came with the steel pulley rather than the cheep looking plastic one from other parts store . I found the problem after...

    V Belt and tensioner

    What about the water pump .. the clutch fan always engage and running , Truck runs cool and correct temp , Pulley looks ok and spin free , unless there is another way to check it .

    V Belt and tensioner

    It's the serpentine belt ..One belt . The belt was 1/2 slipped of the pulley tensioner and that off course caused it to slip down the line and 1/2 of the belt was on the fan clutch pulley and the other half out .. My tensioner is the one with open spring .When i installed the new one and...
