The truck drove beautiful during the summer and all winter but now I ran into some minor things

First thing is I heard some belt squealing I thought maybe my serpentine was stretching I look under the hood to see a pulley totally missing

Lol, so after I see strips of my belt all over I look around and I find a pulley at Napa.

Once I go up there and pick up that pulley I install it was a super easy job until the last part.

Basically I put a big screwdriver in between the two wheels on the adjusting arm but it slipped in the arm closed and the Big Spring collapsed inside.

Sooo had to get a tension arm now, again super easy to replace, but just disheartening after I was all happy I was done.



I'm very sure if I was gentle that tension arm would not have broken, weird part is I never thought they ever broke just seize.

Lol, now I am not sure if I'm happy when I went crazy and tried to kill every possible leak in my ctis system.



My compressor worked great all these years and now since I have not used it since a year pretty well.

Its seized!!!

I noticed my fronts were a little low after super long time.

So I tried to pump them up to no avail, after checking everything realize it's the compressor itself.



Lol I tapped it with a hammer and it started, but slowwww,sounded shitty.

So, i guess that's new on the list.



I'll prob try that viair450c system.

As it's easier on the wallet.



But ya when it rains it pours , hehe

Well that is no good atleast your working on fixing it all.. however yes I had to go through an entire system to just find out its the last thing you check.... i guess its better than not finding the issue at all

Next time use a 3/8 ratchet to pull the idler pulley. Use will find a square hole inthat arm for this tool.

Good job there Tito.

I will never use a screwdriver again to pull that.

Funny part is I remember doing that from your shop so it was super easy.

Well not the screw up I did, hehe... thanks

Well, today I ordered and installed a viair 450c air compressor,

Mine would only work if I wacked it with a hammer.

Hehe

This was step one... removing old faithfull

This is the new setup but I put rubber around the body

Thos was the original removed
