Hey yall,
My truck (98 s10 4.3) makes some interesting clicking sounds when its idoling. Its coming from the pully that keeps the belt tight (tensioner mayber?) I had it replaced one time already when it was under warranty, but Its got 40k miles on it now.. so more more free fixes. It moves back forth like one of the pullies is warped or something, BUT, it smooths out when you give it some gas. Can you greese the barrings in it or something? or is it expensive to replace? I think I could do it myself.. but.. I wandered if anybody else has this problem. I had a 2001 s10 with a 4.3 before I got my 98 (drunk pregnate lady creamed it) and it never gave any problems..
ALSO, one more question,
My alternator went out about 3 weeks ago, and the parts store only had one for a 97, but he said it would work fine, so I got it.. well its been working for awhile, BUT sometimes the voltage dropps down to about 10 - 12 till you give it gas.. and it never did that before.. should i swap it for the 98 alternator..or are the exactly the same, like that parts store guy said?
Thanx yall!
