belt tensioner && fan!
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:57 pm
hey strangers, the belt tensioner went on our 95 astro. so did the fan bearing. maybe theres a bad motor mount aswell?
i dont know.
but the tensioner is like hanging there, its all shiney from the belt.
the van started to die the other night while my dad went to pick up my mom, first the radio, then the lights then it just stalled.
so they walked home, we went back to see what was wrong, and it started so we tried to drive it home, and it stalled a block from my house.
my dad and my friend went to get a truck to pull it the rest of the way, and i waited for them, 'cause the van is dead in the middle of the road, and i got it start again, and it drove and stalled in front of my house, and rolled into the drive way, luckky ehh? well sorta. then today the 98 cavalier belt tensioner went too! so were vehicleless.
i have some question...
1) how hard is the tensioner and possibly the bracket to change? cant the shroud just be removed?
2) If the bracket has to be changed, what all has to be swapped to the other bracket?
3) will a bracket/tensioner off a 91 fit a 95? aswell as the fan?
4) whats the cost for a new/used tensioner for a 98 cavalier? and how hard is that to change?
Thanks in advanced! (:
