Yeah, cucvrus… the alternator fan spun off and hit the big fan, and then bent a couple blades. I can bend back or should I put a new one? Also, yes, a new nut for the fan that has (4), is necessary. I believe it is not out of square. I spun it around a few times... just took a hit while driving and got jammed up. I sent some picks. If you notice, there is a missing alternator fan and the belt got it good when tangled around fan center drive. I have posted some recent activity to my truck. I was about to pull the balancer yesterday when this I noticed. Explains the BANG on the last time I drove. I have plans to change the balancer and the pulley. Lower pulley, that is. The pulley has had a wobble. I tried to see if a Dorman would fix or go away rather... but no luck. In fact, it got worse. Dorman balancer bad after maybe 1,200 miles. I have checked the seals on the crankshaft.. not really any fluid. I took off the inspection plate, all good. I changed the flywheel around 2,500 miles ago. I had heard a crunching sound. I thought it was related to the crankshaft, with the pulley wobble and the unsatisfactory Dorman. So... Saturday I pulled the starter after I pulled the inspection plate. I am going to replace, since the teeth were kind of shot and this starter looks beat up. Test first,
for the heck of it though. The washer inside the starter was funky. A new starter to body bracket and starter bolts as well are in the plan. -- All together, on this round of fun, 1) New Starter with bolts and bracket. 2) New Lower Pulley, (3 Groove). 3) New Harmonic Balancer. (FluidDampr)? (Another thread or another conversation, perhaps.) 4) New Alternator. (100 Amp?) What do you think? 5) And then finally... the start of this whole thread, a New Alternator RT Side Upper Bracket. Which is what brought me in contact with you. -- Check out the picks again and please comment on any and/or all. You have been profound on this site and are appreciated and respected by me. As for the license plate, no problem. It is yours... Let me know what you want for the Upper Bracket. Then lastly how you would like to receive payment, contact information... etc. (Not sure what is proper on this site.) -- LMK and have a great evening!!!
