I will try to keep this short..... :point:
Got in my truck and haeded to the bank. After getting some cash i pull out of the parking lot on to a 45 mph 4 lane road. As I WOT to get next to a nice black caddy I hear the engine squeeeeeel bad. I am at 45 fast and then it feels like the steering pump is not working. THe squeeling continues but then it quits as I let off the pedal and manually turn into a 7-11.....
I shut off the engine and open the hood. I look at the belt that is just sitting on the pulleys loose. I spin the water pump, the alternator, the power steering pump and test the tension on the A/C belt. I am thinking Da%^ Engine.... :tantrum: What am I going to do???? I pull on the tensioner pulley and it is not moving up or right or left, up or down.... I put the belt in position and smack the front of the tensioner.... it moves out to the tensioning position and hte truck starts right up.... :eek:
What a relief, no problems. Has anyone ever had the tensioner pulley lock in the no tension position just from shifting from first to second? :help:
-
I had the entire tensioner assembly fall apart on my 97 Astro.

yep...i've done it prolly 10 times.....scared tha shit outta me the first time it happened also...

Good to hear it wasn't bad. Sounds like you need to replace that thing??

Now I know I am shifting too hard... got a code today :tantrum:
P0757 Shift Solenoid B Stuck On :help:
I think it is time for a retune and a shift kit...... :bash:
