Is it suppose to be on the smaller front set of threads of the larger set closer to the engine on the crank pully?

Thanks, I did the best I could, the "Mechanic" I hired to help said it was the lower crank pulley as you mentioned. He found me a used one (All we have on this island), if its OK, he will let me know what he will charge tomorrow, Probably about $300ish to get me by. Not sure if it is better to...

Crank Pully. The Front set of "groves" lines up with other pulleys. I was "Told" by the local mechanic.... It is supposed to be on the rear set? And this pully "moved back" into the engine a few inches and that's why it does not line up with the tear groove set??? That seems strange to me...

Good dat, I have been missing around trying to get my belt squeal in order. After trying "everything", I finally found a mechanic with some actual good repair knowledge. He said he problem is that the lowest pulley wheel (Some form of a tensioner, different from the idler arm pully) Needs to...

Hi All a quick side question/poll. When your truck is running well, if you look at the top of your idler arm pulley, what percentage works for you? 0% swing does not working for me. Or with a smaller belt tensioning it 50% of the swing range does not work for me either? Is just having the...

Thanks I'll add your info to the "Master" do it for dummies (Like Me) PDF I am making! Could you take a pic of the top of your idler arm pully so I can see how far it is swinging between 0 and max. Thanks!!! Maka

Update... Thought I could get by with the 1 inch smaller length one, but 1/2 way to work it popped off. So don't bother if it is one inch shorter. I'm going to see if I can limp by with the original size 87" size till next week. Ordered both an 85-1/2" and a 85-3/4" to see if I have better...

PS, Thanks to Todd Z for helping me understand about serpentine belt things so I could figure out how to do this, and what to expect.

OK Attached here is my trial and error education about installing a serpentine belt,Too long to type here so please see PDF in your interested. It's mainly for people who have never done this before. Only lesson I still need to learn is... If the tensioner is stretched to 50% of its swing is...

Your Awesome, I have been looking for this info everywhere! I have been struggling for days putting on and taking off my old and new 86.25 inches long belts and idler arm pulleys. No matter what.... Way too loose every time, less than zero tension on the idler arm pulley. I'm going crazy, I'm...

Thanks did all that, cleaned old belt and installed new belt, still too much slop/play in belt. All pulleys are good. As mentioned previously the swing from the tensioner pulley has a range of about 20 to 30 degrees (Visual guess from looking at it). I have to torque the pulley about 5 degrees...

Hi Gang , please do not laugh too loud about my following easy to fix problem. I am TOTALLY stressing out over a simple replace serpentine belt problem…. If I had any hair left I would have pulled it out by now !! I’m hoping one of you has some words of wisdom to keep me from taking a long walk...

No worries, I totally took apart the dash and cluster and fixed " everything", all working well. Only thing left is to find best place to tap in the reverse camera wire. That will take a little research as it has no unique fuse in the box to turn on only reverse is engaged!

Good day to all! I was hoping to get a bit of advise. (2005 xlt 4x4) I have a bad connection in my dash gague cluster. 90 % of the time do not work. A smack to the gauge cluster on top of dash turns them on again sometimes, untill i hit the next big bump. When all is off, at 3AM dome lights...

Let's work on it together to see if we can get things working. I installed the stereo a while ago, works fine. I added the older rear Subwoofer wiring wires from my other sport trac, installed factory subwoofer and plugged it into the Atoto A6 along with installing an aftermarket backup...

your chart looks different from the 2002! (I ran into 3 different ones claiming to be for my 02, luckily I found the manual that came with my ST). Look on the back of the fuse box and see if (Re-Edit from previous post), fuse 04 (Top Right), is empty and has a thick brown wire connected to one...

looks different from the 2002!

This reply keeps being erased before I can post! not good! Anyway sorry for the slow response, life‘s been about crazy lately. If your still playing with the factory amp behind the rear seat, here is what I did today. On my 02 and 05 ST, on the fuse panel it has a dedicated rear amp on the 05...

Its got to be wrong! It doesn't match the picture of the fuses in my pic, so it must be wrong?

I am guessing here.... So one of the other ST wizards will have to chime in in this.... It looks like the power to the rear factory amp needs to be hooked up th (Directly/indirectly) to one of the fuses that goes to the "multi function switch"? My factory Subwoofer wire was hooked to fuse #4...
