Hey Kelley... My original AC compressor failed at about 20,000 miles. The fan belt disintegrated before I could figure out what had happened. I had the...
On the end of the motor there is a rubber boot,the brake release is the arm sticking up under the boot. Flip it, then crank in the room using a rachet on the...
Thanks, DD...yeah, I've resigned myself to the fact the fan has to come off or I'm going to have problems down the road. So it goes. Kelly ... fan belt over...
Thanks Needroks, It turns out I only needed one good man, and he never even broke a sweat. I posted the results of my research on the dieselbounders group...
Well...it's been an interesting day. If you've changed the oil and lubed the chassis, you ain't ready for this. Now, if you can change a rear differential,...
Okay, it's near impossible to hold the fan, spacer and pulley in place while threading any of the four fan bolts to the camshaft. Hence, I thought about...
Kelly, I don't see a problem with it. Just like a clutch pilot shaft that you use to line up the clutch plate in order to get it centered before bolting on ...
Hey Kelly: Why not get some extra bolts with a longer threaded area, and cut off the un-threaded shank. Thread these loosely into one or two holes of the...
Good idea, but I'm rather limited in resources at hand. I had to buy a wood trim saw for the interior paneling work, but I have no table to work on and no...
Hello Kelley...and all... #1. Engine cover/bed assembly support.... You can take a piece of 3/4" PVC (schedule. 40) and notch it on each end Cut a complete 45...
As the other one...well...I've finally accepted it's a bit too strict in its moderation. At least IMO. Obviously there are enough folks who like it to stay...
You're so right, Kelly, what's the point of a group like this if you can't post your problems (and rants) and get answers? They'll 'moderate' themselves right...
Kelly, I'm in agreement with you. I left the "Other" group some time ago. Bill BounderBill 03 BD 34M, 98 CR-V BU 9445, FMCA 52610 VMSpc, BrakeSwitch M&G toad...
I'm not sure, as it's not like we've been in many of them, and when we have, we've mostly been together. I haven't been cursed with it, yet, thankfully. Kelly...
Well it seems the Freightliner length doesn't come close to fitting around both pulleys. Glad I checked this before actually getting the fan back on, as I'd...
If the engineers who designed the tensioning system drank less and got both glasses and calculators. Sheesh. The adjuster pulls clean out of the recepticle it...
This has ceased to be entertaining, or even remotely enjoyable, and I'm a dyed-in-the-wool gearhead. I mean, I felt good about putting a new timing belt in my...
Hello All... Especially Kelley.. Kelley, I have read about your farkle's and have admired them. I believe that I am only a moderate Farkler but I used to be...
Kelly, All I can say is that when my A/C belt needs replacement, I am going to keep track of where you are and go there. You have way too much experience to...
There must have been a change in setup, as the ISB in both '99 & '00 models do not have an idler pulley for the A/C belt route. Just slip it over the camshaft...
Kelly, I've had the need yet to replace the fan belts. But, I have had difficult situations before where it was a better idea to replace the bolts with studs....
I kicked this idea around, too, but I can't find any 10MM, or 3/8", studs around here. Granted, I haven't gone to a bona-fide nut and bolt shop, but that may...
This is too good of an idea not to pursue it, as it removes cross- threading from the equation and I know I can get the nuts on the studs with relative ease. I...
Jesse, I for one and I think a lot of others desire to hear more regarding the AC belt being replaced OVER the fan blades. Would you please share the story...
Hello one more time Kelley.. I am now under the impression that you do not have an idler pulley on your AC pulley system. If you do not have one then I suspect...
Interesting, as I don't see anything resembling a mount for one, or even where it would go. There isn't much room for anything between the cam pulley and the...
... Kelly, My 2002 does not have any device for idler or other tensioning device. The belt loops around two pulleys, the one on the fan and the other on the...
Yeah, this one has me baffled, as Freightliner claims, without hesitation, a 39" one fits on there, but even with the tensioner *off* the machine, a 39" isn't...
