New belt? Was belt aligned or off one groove on a pulley?
Rideandrepair and mhyn Thank this. -
It was aligned when I left out. Sitting on highway. Waiting for the ta to get here. I did pull it to make sure it was "usual" or "normal" against the pull test
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Any of the pulleys locked up or hard to turn?
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Thanks to your question I just check. They. Are moving freely. But some of the belt is chewed behind the w/p. Also two of the three big hoses are sucked in.
Also as I spun the pullies I side eyed them and they appear to be straightRideandrepair Thanks this. -
The coolant hoses are sucked in?? Is it full of coolant. Usually hoses get hard with coolant pressure that increases with heat.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Please try to turn the center of a/c compressor to be sure it turns ?
Rideandrepair, feldsforever and AModelCat Thank this. -
Rad hoses collapsed while it was shut off and cooling down? Rad cap is the usual suspect in that case.
Serpentine belts cannot tolerate very much misalignment. A very miniscule amount is all it takes for them to skip. Lack of belt tension and worn pulleys can cause that issue too.
Was the belt removed to repair water pump? Possible it was routed incorrectly upon installation?Rideandrepair and mhyn Thank this. -
It appears your serpentine belt is broken
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Thank you I needed thatRideandrepair and Gumper Thank this.
