No More Water Pump Leaks When Tightening The Fan Belts

[Rifleman]

Lonnie, if you look at the photos in post #18 in this thread, you will see that i did add the jack screw adjustment just like you ask about.

Awesome, I totally missed that post somehow.
I was reacting to people saying it would fly off etc...

Saw all the commotion & thought what a good idea... it just needs an adjustment bolt or to be spring loaded.
Now I want one....

Looks like orders for 4 so far.

I want one for the M925. Just let me know when funds are needed. Great idea and discussion. Regards

Just came across this while searching for something.

Any updates?

I want one. Then all you need is to find the part number for a longer belt that will allow installation and removal without touching the water pump on a truck that has the original belt installed already (alternatively you could adjust the water pump to the loose side the first time).

Is the adjustment range enough that you could pull that off or is that wishful thinking on my part?

Dependent on the price, Put me down for one as well.. Thanks I read through the entire thread, at first look, with the single bolt holding both the placement and tension (I do understand it is on the load side of the belt as well) I was concerned. BUT with the version 2.0 adjustable jack screw, great job with limited options with-in the confines of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) or (Keep It Stupid Simple) however you want to say it.. To me the bracket looks more then strong enough (even on the Load side of the belt) for the given application. I saw it mentioned by a few to try to make it Spring Loaded DO NOT DO THAT it will not work specifically because of it being on the load side of the belt. It need to remain a solid but adjustable idler. Nice job with all the input from everyone it looks like 20 heads are much better than 1 to help with working out all the possibility and design ideas. This is just my little bit of input "carry on"
