Default Re: power steering pump bracket

Hmmm.... Dont know why your truck started and only ran a few seconds. But your belt needs to be TIGHT! If its not something is up. Sure you got the correct NEW belt? You got a NEW tensioner and installed correctly so the spring is shoving it against the belt like it should be? It should have been hard as crap to push that new tensioner over to the left far enough to be out of your way....I had to use BOTH hands and have someone else tighten the bolt! Even if your old tensioner seemed OK, a NEW belt might wear out the bearing prematurely. And you dont want to pull this apart again. Be sure your marks... ALL of them are SPOT ON....and your timing belt is TIGHT! You dont want to run the motor very long. Remember your not running coolant through the block or heads with all the componants off.
