Recently my truck has started squealing after it warms up. After taking a closer look I was able to wiggle the fan back and forth (part that wobbles in the picture below). Is this normal? Or do I have a bearing/pulley going bad? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

I don't see any pic...

 

Opps forgot to resize it, it is there now.

 

From the pic that looks like your water pump pulley. If it's squeaking and wobbles then I'd say it's time for a new WP. Exactly how much play is in the pulley?

 

^^^^Yes and it should NOT wobble, something is wrong. Just went and checked mine and she spins wobble free and all is tight... I would get it address ASAP!

It wobbles probably about a 1/4" each way when I grab on to the fan blades. I am fixing to repair the plenum within the next few days, should I go ahead and do the water pump while I am at it or is it just a bearing I can replace?

 

have to replace the whole thing. Since you are going that deep.... might just as well do the timing set, and front crank seal too.....

 

+1 to what HeyYou said. I just got my plenum plate and gaskets, etc. today and plan on changing both the water pump, timing set, and crank seal (which I still have to buy) while I'm doing the plenum. Figure it this way, since you are already that far in you might as well do it all...it's never gonna be easier.

 

Yeah, it's like six more bolts, and the cover comes off....

 

Is it safe to say that I will be ok driving the truck until the weekend with it slightly squealing like it is or should I just park it?
