This Week has Really Been Trying

[FordNut]

Twice this week my Marauder has let me down. Both times involving the belt. I've bragged too much on it I guess. Never had any problems with belt slippage or thrown belts (8-rib setup) but then POW, twice in one week.

Monday the ProCharger idler pulley let go, sending little bits of aluminum all over the place and causing the belt to get eaten up. Then this evening the alternator let go, and actually was on fire when I stopped and opened the hood. Melted some wiring and vacuum lines and even caught my CAR Motorsports underhood insulator on fire. Luckily I got it out before severe damage was done.

Hopefully this will be it for awhile.

Brian,

Get in touch with Doug Holloway at BilletFlow (313-388-8228)....He built some very nice idlers for the PC setup we have.....I think they are even wide enough for the 8-Rib setup but he would have to let you know on that one??:confused:

I can send you photos of mine if you like!!;)

Damm Brian, sorry to hear about the problems. I know you will get it straightened out. As MarauderJack said, Billetflow has some super, anodized hardened idler pulleys in stock. We both got them for our cars. I am sure they will fit your 8 rib set-up. Haven't got my 8 rib pulleys yet. Hopefully by the end of August they will be on the new motor.

Brian,

I also recently ordered one from Marauderjack reference. Good stuff, good price and fast turnover.
