RE: Serpentine Belt Question!
now mines just as strong as it ever was, but i noticed this.... my coolant level was a little low, so i filled it and the noise went away for a good 2 hours of driving, there was nothing, still now it will go away sometimes but it still comes back, now im thinking maybe its my water pump..

RE: Serpentine Belt Question!
Hi,
I am new to the site,
So I have the same A/C problem and the dealer tells me it's the bearing inside the comprssor. Says it's going to be $800 to fix it. So I asked it they can short belt it and I have not heard back yet. If they cant I will get the truck back and do it myself thanks to your past experiances. They tell me it's the inturnal bearing that has gone bad and not the one on the pully When I get it back and it is short belted how canI cheak this? Oh anddidany one find a a good aftermarket compresor?
My truckis a 98 Ram Sport 5.9it has a 180,000 plus and worth every penny I paid
Thanks for your help

The belt won't go around the A/C compressor ... or do you mean "how can I check if it's the internal bearing"?
When I get it back and it is short belted how can I cheak this?
I know the belt will not go around the a/c pully, I am looking for a way to make sure it is the inturnal bearing, just to make sure the dealer did not make a mistake, i don't want to replace something I don't have too,
Oh the other pullies are fine I took the belt off an cheacked befor I took it in,
Thanks for your help
