On my way home tonight I heard a weird noise, but it quickly went away. The truck ran fine the rest of the way home. When I got home, I found the heat shield material on the hood was 'scraped' up and a piece of material hanging down. I looked at the belt. It's as if one of the grove ribs 'tore' off leaving the rest of the belt intact.
I had to replace the belt 1 1/2 years ago while on a RV Trip. I had the truck almost 3 years before that belt shredded.
The belt is shifted a groove on a couple of pullies, but not on another one. So...I'm thinking two things:
1.) When they put on the belt, they didn't use a good belt
-OR-
2.) Maybe I've got a worn idler pulley or something like that.
Can anyone who has had belt issues let me know their experiences with what they found and had to fix?
Thanks in advance -
