Serpentine belt slip 1995 Chevy van
I finally got this damn serpentine belt
on and it slipped off. Hoping someone can
tell by the photo if a pulley or some other
part might be missing?
The upper right pulley is what concerns me
because there's no tread, looks like it's too
small to catch, like a part fell off?
Looks like the wheel come off belt tensioner. You can look at belt tensioner, rockauto.com, an online parts book. That tensioner doesn't look right, to me.
Tensioner failed yes the pulley is gone replace the entire unit.
Also I can't figure out which is the tensioner, or if it's just stuck? I got it on the a crowbar this last time and it felt snug. Ran it for a couple mi to test it and then this morning it slipped after 10 seconds.
Note the picture for tensioner.
That's what it looks like to me.
Thanks so much y'all. So replace the whole unit? Can I just replace the tensioner pulley or do I need to buy the whole Assembly?
You can look at rockauto.com for the part, it shows pulley and arm, assembly.
Yeah they weren't shipping to California so I just picked up the pulley in town. I'm on a limited budget so just wondering why I'd need to replace the arm too.
I just meant look at the picture as a reference. You don't have to buy anything from them. Hey, if the tension is ok and you can get just the pulley wheel, itself, great. have a good day.
