Water Pump Pulley Do-over
Well, last Thursday, driving the kids home and heard a thump under the hood, quickly followed by the GENERATOR light and temp gauge going real hot. Thought it was just a belt but when I pulled it over the water pump pulley was just dangling and the belt was fine.
So, flat bed home. Pulley broken. Where do you get such a thing? Fortunately there was a swap meet on Saturday. Looked high and low and found a MOPAR pulley that was just about right. I had to drill another set of four holes since the MOPAR pattern was off just enough not to work.
It wobbles a bit more than I'd like but until I find an exact replacement, it'll have to do. Here's some pics
