Re: Serp system advice
Well, after a little inspection, I have found that my power steering pump pulley has backed off of the shaft from where I pressed it on. It appears to be the source of alignment problems. My question is, why would it slide back off of the shaft? It appears to have moved around 3/8". Any thoughts on why it would move off?

Either way, using the installation tool, if it requires some effort to put it all the way back on (so it don't slip) it will be alright as long as you put a bolt and washer in the shaft to keep it on. Use an impact wrench to torque it. |

Re: Serp system advice
Don't know why, I would reseat it, mark it, and watch it for a while.

Re: Serp system advice
Well guys, I think we did it. I was able to press the pulley back on this afternoon and put a bolt and washer in it to make sure it doesn't back off again. That seemed to fix it. I got the coolant leak fixed and took it for a test drive. I let it idle for around 10 minutes or so with the head lights on and then drove around the neighborhood and the lights never dimmed or anything. So, I hope that means the alternator is charging properly. It didn't idle very well. It kept dying on me while idling, but drove around ok. It still ran a little rough. I am hoping it was just because I haven't driven it in a few months.
I can't thank you guys enough for all the help. I know I couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks guys. |

Re: Serp system advice
Finally getting to this project. I ordered a Derale 17917 reverse rotation clutch fan (same mounting flange as the 17918). I did this to retain the fan shroud.
The new fan will not fit on the clutch. The inner diameter is too small, the bolt holes are too small and the bolt circle diameter is 3" or 3 1/2" and my clutch is 3 1/4". Kaptain, you said you had this fan on yours... what did you do to get it to fit? Do I need to get a new clutch too? Anyone know of a fan that just bolts onto the clutch w/o modifications? I dont want to go the electric fan route, I like the stock look of the mechanical fan and stock shroud (I know I will have to trim it). Thanks for any advice! CST350 |

Re: Serp system advice
You guys asked about a smaller clutch fan to work in the stock shroud. I did the exact conversion about 10 years ago and my recall may be off but i remember going to the junkyard and found a s-10 4.3 v6 with a 18" fan worked perfectly, serpentine drive obviously. Co-worker has the complete engine/trans now, but if you get desperate i could possibly find out. Good luck!
