Well this is what happened. driving along slowly just turning been hearing a high pitched win last 30 seconds. Turn then go straight I hear a typical fan belt breaking noise everything on dash lights up but still have power brakes and steering. Then the power steering immediately goes away.
Stop get out sure enough belt is toast and the lower pulley has dropped off but I can reach down and get it but it is shot. The belt nicely unwinds itself.
I start calling around and find a dealer in Indiana that says he has the parts. But there is confusion between the M60 and M62. So long story short get a belt that is too long and the full belt tensioner system less the spring loaded tensioner. fedx sat deliver ouch..
GO to hardware store get tools and put new double pulley on with the the new bracket. And I did this with the fan on but it would of been easier to take it off. But i was four hours from home with no tools.
The new belt is too long. As I had carefully drove the car once 1 mile and then 2 miles I thought I had a plan.
The plan was to get the car up to speed shift into neutral (auto) and shut if off. Put the heat on max with the fan on max and hopefully the AUXWP would circulate water through the heater core and the block. Had about 8 miles to get to auto parts store.
First NO PS at all. Then NO PB at all and the brakes are not like manual brakes they are like no brakes. The car never went over the normal center needle position till late in the run then it went over it by just a little.
I was glad I had two new batteries. I also was glad to have the AUXWP. I will keep a replacement belt on board and the tools and do a PM on those pulleys at 100,000 miles. The pentosin which I had just changed and put 1/2" below top overflowed. So I would say more like 1 inch below top is better.
Tools needed were 3/8 drive with a 13mm 12 point socket. and for new bolts with new system 3/8 drive and T-50 torx.
The fan belt is a seven grove but you can use a 6 grove as a get home. Went 200 miles four hours NBD.
OAT was 64 degrees.FYI
And once again CHillax helped by posting on here asking for help for me which several chimed in to help. So a big thank you to everyone!
