>Jon, its worth a look. Its been raining for the past two days here, and the truck is parked outside so i havent been able to get into it. Tomorrow its supposed to be better, so tomorrow i will pull the radiator fan off, the waterpump pulley and look around. If i dont see anything, then im pulling the Crank pulley off and all the belts too. Jon if its more convenient, you can always email me at rotorary7@aol.com Thanks a bunch, i really appreciate you guys/gals trying to help me!
