LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 No, not trying to prove anybody wrong. The proper info rewards with the proper parts or we have pissed off techs. Just trying to figure out what vehicle in 2006-2007 has a 7.3. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I didn't see a spacer between the idler and the alt. bracket. The #'s I came up with idler F6TZ8678HB and alt. bracket F6TZ10A313DA. Are you sure somebody didn't fudge it up and improvised the repair?

WGLR13MWZ Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 If it has a spacer some one has burned the bearings up in it before and replaced the "two" original ones with one bearing and a spacer. People do it all the time on Internationals. By the way, they end up right back where they started shortly after. In the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is a recollection question. Yesterday was Mr. Know-it-alls last day and I was waist deep in an EGR cooler in a school bus so I was not overseeing much else. He walks up to me and asked if I remembered the washer or shim or whatever. I vaguely recall some pulleys having a washer/spacer behind them, even the 6.0L's. The truck lost the pulley entirely while driving so whatever was there is now gone. The new pulley was rubbing the tensioner housing and did not line up with the tensioner pulley. He put something behind it to make it work and the truck rolled along. Now that I have time to think about this, how did the pulley get "lost" and was there damage to the bracket...

WGLR13MWZ Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Think.....70+ mph on the highway...bearing fails do to contamination and melts....pulley comes right off the bearing that is still bolted to the bracket....driver scratches head....either keeps driving till they notice an overheat situation or pulls over about a half a mile later.....now where exactly did that pulley come off and how far did it sling into the grass? Plus they need to be towed in or perform a road side repair. I assume the pulley comes with the bearing. So why look for it. The 444E is notorious for this.
