Well that isn't good news since I just ordered two of them from NAPA on my way home last night.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Odd engine for an odd owner!Try them maybe I have an odd engine... I found that number from a thread from 2009 I think...
Unfortunately, quality control is still questionable from the source. We had to drill the mount's holes so they were square and the bolts would thread into the block.Pics of the new alternator and bracket please. How much did the bracket run you?
Carquests are nearly out of business and replaced by advance auto parts.P/N: Car Quest 13A11p5
P/N: Car Quest 11A0915
may have been superseded. They don't come up in any Car Quest or affiliate parts search engine, or even Google. The only reference to these P/N's in Google, are to the threads on this forum.
NAPA P/N's still seem valid.
download the google sheet app on your phone. and click the link on it thru the SS site thru your phone it will allow quick access.Yeah, I ended up going with NAPA for the belts. I need to email myself the spreadsheet. I can't access it from where I am, right now.
Thanks for the tip on iso-group, I'll try that. I've been trying to cross reference part numbers with mixed success with other cross reference sites. I can tell I'm doing something wrong because I use NAPA as my guide post and bounce the NAPA numbers I get, against any NAPA numbers posted in this forum. They don't match, so obviously I'm screwing something up.
I'll definitely be replacing all belts at once. Mine all show cracks and signs of age. My only fear about the project is encountering stuck water pump bolts. I'll be on my knees, prayin' to the Good Lawd that none of them snap off and require drilling out.Just replaced the belts on my M817. I pulled the pump and installed new copper gasket on water pump. I could see rtv around mine so I know if I adjusted it would never reseal. It makes sense to replace all of the bells if you're in there. No reason to cheap out and trying to use anything because this is a fairly big project for a belt change.
Have anti seize and a new water pump gasket on hand. Might as well pull the pump to make sure it's in good condition and seal everything back up.

Shouldn't have any issues with rust, mine all came out fine. I would recommend replacing all six bolts and washers when you do it though. Some of my washers were a little bent up and the bolts had minor corrosion so it made sense to put new stuff in there while it was apart. Bolts are 3/8x1-3/4 fine thread and you'll need thick washers. The most important part is the thick washers, if you don't have a thick washer I don't think you'll have enough clamping force to hold the pump on tightly without bending the washers. I actually used 5/16 thick washers, they fit tightly on the bolts and appeared to be a better fit on the water pump as well. Don't forget the anti-seize. Good time to do a coolant change as well because you will at least lose a small amount of coolant. Unless you've done it recently, change it out with fresh green coolant and the proper SCA additives.I'll definitely be replacing all belts at once. Mine all show cracks and signs of age.

There are still several carquest owned by independents that are still in business. I know of atleast 6 stores in Mississippi and atleast 3 in Montana. They do not cross with advance ap at all.General Parts International Inc. ( Carquests parent company) was bought out by Advance Auto Parts Inc. in 2014 .
Yes, the belts will be done in conjunction with a coolant flush and replacement as well as upper and lower radiator hoses as well as the surge tank hoses. My truck hasn't been serviced in over 8 years so I'm working my way through it all. Thanks for the info on the water pump bolts. Are Grade 8 bolts adequate or should I be using something stronger?Shouldn't have any issues with rust, mine all came out fine.

Go with stainless if you can get it so in the event of 5yrs from now they wont be rusted dust again.
