Pulley
I had to replace the pulley an drive belt an from how it looks I didnt have the correct size bolt an such in there.
Can you send a pic with the order of the plate or washers an such as to how it goes.It sits a bit off after i put new one an new bolt in .Old bolt was ruined an bearings in old one seized.
Ill get pic . Belt doesnt seem fully centered on it.
Does the thick plate piece go in front of pully ,facing front of truck ,or behind pulley ,an is there a flared part with it? .I haven had a chance to get a diagram pic to see the exact set up .
.thanks
i just put the spacer part on outside for now so its even till i get that special bolt . I dont have a washer on inside before pulley though.
Ill likely have to go to a junkyard.

There is a flange bushing that the bearing rides on. Bolt is not special - standard 3/8" bolt works.

Bolt - flanged bushing - pulley - bracket
Optionally, I elect to put a grade 8 washer between the pulley and the bracket. Make sure it is larger than the inner bearing race but doesn't touch the outer race. That way if the bearing fails, it doesn't eat the bracket.

Pulleys can last the life of the vehicle, with a little simple maintenance. Greasing pulleys

I didnt realize the inside piece the bolt goes in was not the original so that likely factored it.Those look like fully sealed bearings but mine were fried .New pulley an belt ,tentioner is good.
Can that pulley issue possibly be a reason the alternator was giving me low charging issues a month or so ago?
[ fingers crossed] No issues for a month or so an I never even put the battery temp sensor on it..an thankfully no ecm voltage regulator issue!
