Makin' it better!
On friday I went to have breakfast with my buds, 7:15 am. Had to quickly drop off some movies, you know, late charges suck. So I get out of the truck and, its still idling, and hear this rather loud ticking/knocking. Oh crap! I open the hood and it sounds like it is coming from the DS valve cover. Hoping it would just disappear on it's own, I went to breaky and had a good visit, drove home and still ticking. :sad: I had planned on taking the truck to a Bible camp to do some volunteer carpentry with my tools and stuff, but no, I had to the take the mini van. UHG! Anyway, after 2 days away sweating the glorious manitoba heat we finally have, here I am, Sunday morning after church and I can't stop thinking about the tick/knock. I read throught some old threads and got some ideas of what it could be. Bless you guys for all the info, it has been a real help. Long story short, I pulled the serp belt off, started her' up and no tick/knock. Whew!:smile5: Start turning things by hand, and the vac pump:mad2: no longer in service is nearly siezing at the climax of every revolution! So off it will come, but I need a new belt, and I recall that we need one 1" shorter than stock. Can anybody confirm this, and maybe post or give a link to the part number? Hope that solves it. Thanks.
