I'm not a mechanic. In my experience, the pulley should not shake or vibrate. It should spin very smoothly and without noise. If my pulley was shaking, I would remove the belt and check to make sure the pulley mounting bolt was properly installed and that the pulley was functioning normally. If anything seemed out of normal, I'd replace the pulley and begin inspecting every other part the the belt touches.

Nice! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! I've learned so much from others on KZbin and glad to be able to give a little back. Good luck!

John Dezember yea KZbin has been a massive help with many cars I’ve owned over the years, owned my Blazer a couple of weeks so just slowly working my round it doing bits and bobs on it 😎

Hey Joe, I honestly don't remember; that was several years ago. Just a guess, I probably chose whatever was the quickest available option so I could get back on the road. Back then I had a 3hr round trip commute. I either grabbed what the local parts store had in stock or ordered next day delivery from Amazon. Still have that truck. It has over 420,000 miles now.

@@JohnDezember ok yes it would have been easier & better to replace it . actually thank you for your video ! ! ! ! As to take just the pully off its super akward & I'm disabled ( fused back & Ms) Son i watched yours tool off the whole idler pulley out in the pully ( which was shot ) and it was way easier that way . Unfortunately I still have a noise & can't figure out what it is ! The alternator is new , the only thing left is the other pully left seems ok . So I can't figure it out . Any thoughts would be appreciated .Ty & Godspeed

Glad the video helped!

Just rolled over 419k yesterday!

Thanks!

Looks like I need to adjust my notification settings... totally missed your comment. Yes, I plan on posting a review. No gaming, I'll use the extra buttons/wheel for video editing.

Half inch

He said in the video to use the old bolt and and spacer from the old idler pulley

+Zachary Heard please keep in mind that I'm not a mechanic. The same principles should apply to the 2.2 as the 4.3, but the components are arranged differently.

John Dezember thanks it's worth a shot atleast

Here is a better solution and cheap too. Take the damaged " Plastic " Pulley off. Get the " Metal " Pulley and put it back on... It might last you a lifetime.. Except the Bearings which cost $2.00 to replaced. Here us the Link for the Metal Pulley: www.ebay.com/itm/192386277640

I did it in this Video here and I also explained it why I chose " Metal " in this Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip3bgKGInc2ppck

Ha! No, the compressor is still not functional. I had always assumed the compressor and clutch came together as an assembly. Your comment prompted me to look this up. I see the clutch can be replaced separate from the compressor. Thanks! I'll put that video on my list!

Do a By-Pass, see Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV64lax_ZqmYeZo

@@JohnDezember hey brother, I literally just finished a ac clutch job on my jimmy. It isnt hard, but I recommend getting the full compresser, and dryer kit. Our rigs are super easy. Evac the ac, how you do it is none of my business ;). Get everything flushed, replaced. Rent the vacuum kit from the parts store. It cost me 150 bucks after returning the pump. It cost 120 for a quality clutch kit with pulley. The difference of 30 dollars is nothing compared to the opportunity costs when the whole compressor fails with new parts. Not to mention yours is a half shell like mine was. They are notorious for failing after 100k. The new replacements are solid body. Also, you deserve to know this. If you ever have a mysterious vacuum leak, look under the abs module and there is a gremlin hose you can only feel by hand.

@@elidames6889 thanks for the info! I'll have to dig into this after I get moved and have some free time.

@@JohnDezember no problem man. Just something I wish I would have known. There isnt a bolt I havent turned on your rig. If you need any heads up, hit me up. More than happy to help you not go through what I did

The washer was friction fit to the bolt. I hope you were able to see that once you got into your own. This was my first instructional video and I didn't want to move the camera unless I absolutely had to. I've had to stop watching many videos because it seemed like they were on a roller coaster and I didn't want that for mine. Since you spent the time to leave a comment about leaving things out, why would you do the same? E.g. missing letters in the third word "people"

Thanks for the clarification, Dillon Keough

No probz :D

Dont a lot of s10s have problems with that

They are known for going bad. Has a 13mm bolt torqued to 37 ft. lbs.

Erick Arellano - double check the belt to make sure it follows the correct path. also check to see if the tensioner has any resistance, if it moves freely this will need to be replaced.

Lloyd Dailey , it's possible... worn bearings can make a variety of sounds that would change as the engine RPM increased. I'm definitely not a mechanic, but I think you're in the right track.

The tensioner assembly was the factory original and a new one was only $40... That little cost was worth it to me.

I just fixed mine, it took 10 minutes and cost me 14 dollars.

96" long .82" wide here's a link to exactly what I used : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C0WKNS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000C0WKNS&linkCode=as2&tag=johndeze-20

I'm glad that you found this useful! Good luck with your repair!

Thanks buddy. Anxious to get off work and get started on this :)

Hoogiechoochoo Disclaimer: I'm not a mechanic, I just try to fix the things I have when they break. If the belt tensioner is new (not pulled from another vehicle), I would check that the placement pin (see 9:51 in the video) is set in the proper place. If it's not set properly, then you will not get proper tension. If everything else is good (correct size and placement of belt and pulleys) then I guess it could be a bad spring in the tensioner (the auto parts store should do a replacement).

Thanks for the prompt response. I did some reading and there doesn't seem to be a ton of info/specs on the spring tension. It seems tight enough so I'm just gonna keep an eye on it and see how it works. Thanks again

John Dezember umm umm stfu

John Clapham thanks for the comment! I hope your repair went smoothly!

Great! I'm glad it helped!

I'm glad you found my video useful. I hope your repair day goes smoothly!

That's great! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!

Hello Iris Alvarez, thanks for watching my video. I was really just playing with time-lapse recording rather than making an information/learning video. The kit does include easy-to-follow assembly instructions, but if you need to learn how to solder, I would recommend this resource: www.ladyada.net/learn/soldering/thm.html Here's a link to the most recent version of the kit that also includes the tin: goo.gl/HQDJiE

Thank you John for your replay and your time. I'm sorry for been a little bit rude, I was upset because I was looking for instructions how to build the kit with out success. My kit didn't come with any instruction at all, very disappointed!!! Thank you so much for the links and your help!!!

They must have stopped including instructions. The new version is available online: learn.adafruit.com/minty-boost/make-it Good luck! and Have fun building!

Thank you so much, but I don't think I will buy another one lol I was looking the links you send me, the soldering it's not about how to do it with the kit. I must have a good look at it again What a pain in the neck, or I'm to slow to do it. Lol
