can anyone tell me how the best way to tell which engine pulley is bad on a 2001 F-150. ive started by changeing the belt and it still sqweeks thanks. FNA 04-14-2008, 04:24 PM Listen and isolate the sound. Johnny Mullet 04-14-2008, 09:22 PM Use a Mechanic's stethoscope, but be very carefull not to get it (or your mullet) caught in the moving parts! I bought one of these and use it quite often to diagnose belt noise, wheel bearing noise, and other squeaks and rattles. A really long screwdriver butted to the ear also works, but it's hard to see with your head sideways! FNA 04-15-2008, 09:55 AM Ah, edited your response already. I received e-mail notice of your response "Use a Doctor's stethoscope" and was going to suggest a mechanic's stethoscope would be better. Because with the longer 'probe' less chance of a mullet mishap. One can also use a long ratchet extension bar which transmits sound fairly well, using the female drive end as a sound bell. craig150 04-15-2008, 08:59 PM hahaha alright thatnks guys ill give it a try Related Links Enter the largest automotive community on the planet! |
