I replaced my serp belt (along with the 2 idler pulleys and the tensioner, for those of you who remember my last post about all this crap breaking), and I noticed something while replacing all that stuff...

The bolt, or whatever it is that holds this pulley together, is no longer there. See picture (arrow points to it). The pulley actually is still secured, but there is a ring that sits in the lumen of the pulley that easily separates from the rest of it.

What part number is this thing, or where can I get a replacement? I'm assuming that it isn't something I can just grab from Auto Zone, because it is rarely that simple with this thing.

Also I broke that crappy plastic hose that runs from the coolant reservoir to the radiatior. FML.

 

If you can take a better pic, cant really see what it is.

 

I'm just loving that your name is dillhole and you named your picture "fart.jpeg". And I broke that crappy plastic hose last weekend while doing my head gaskets... I plan to just buy some rubber hose and use some screw on hose clamps to fix it rather than buy another one.

And yeah that pic is just about worthless, besides its brilliant name.

 

AC compressor clutch, I think- hard to see. Can't recall for sure, but I dissected mine a few months back. Pretty sure there's a circlip holding it to the compressor shaft. So I don't think it will depart the vehicle. But it might hold the clutch mechanism together, so I'd try to get a new bolt.

 

Yes, the bolt is what I'm missing. Do you know the size or if there's a part number?

For all I know, this has been missing for a while, but I just noticed it. The pulley is in no danger of coming off, but the thing that sits inside the pulley might.

Here is a better picture.

 

the bolt that hold the clutch onto the AC compressor is missing????????? that's a strange one. either someone was working on the truck and had no idea what they were doing or someone replaced the front seal in the compressor and did not re-install it.

 

Based on this photo, it's likely part of the assembly when you buy the compressor.





Unless #5 is the part, in which case it's FS110251L. But I believe that's for mounting the compressor to the engine.

 

I cannot tell by that photo, but the end of most compressor clutches are threaded so that you can install a special puller to remove the clutch.

 

that is correct, that is were you would install a clutch puller if you were going to install a new front seal.
But there is a bolt with a built in washer that goes in that hole to hold the compressor clutch to the crank shaft.

 

It is #5 from the picture above.
