DEFECT #2 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Posted on: 2006-05-10
Description
On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off, or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.
