Have a look from the side, and see if you have a pulley misalignment somewhere. It really shouldn't do that......
there are only 2 things that that i have noticed, because i did look from the side the entire time. is that when the truck is started it immidiately jumps a rib only on the crank pulley. i shut the truck off as soon as i see it(remote start) and that the belt has moved a bit on the w/p pulley. could this be a bad idler or tensioner, or both?
again this just started happening, just a couple weeks ago. it has been fine up until then. so im thinking that its one of the pulleys.....
well i think i figured it out. need a new water pump! took the old belt back off and the water pump is all over the place, new one will be bought tomorrow!
What else should i replace? I know i need the wp gasket and bypass hose. But what else.... Oh and i hate being on here with a cell phone IT SUCKS!!!!!!
