How do I figure out which pulley is going out

Asked by Daddyking Aug 28, 2018 at 11:14 PM about the 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 SXT RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was entering the freeway yesterday and my truck stalled. I pulled to the side
of the highway. I restarted but when I did it was making a very loud chugging
clanging sound. At first I thought it was the Pistons . Not that. When I
checked under the hood it is one of the pulleys . I think it is the the biggest
one on the bottom. The truck will still drive but the noise I so loud , I has to be
fixed. How do I figure out which pulley it is?
