This isn’t a good sign

“That noise was getting worse and then I heard a pop. Suddenly I couldn’t steer anymore…the noise stopped though”. With those words we have stepped back into the unfamiliar ground of car repair. This, invariably, requires the help of Justin. Luckily this wasn’t my car. The belt shredded, which was easy to fix, and was either the cause of, or effect from the idler pulley turning into a mass of twisted shredded metal. That was not so easy to fix. We went to Autozone and found the part but of course it’s really two parts and they don’t carry the other one. It’ll limp through the weekend but I see a trip to Jeep in our future.



Something like that happened to me when I was driving the suburban. One of the pieces that the serpentine belt goes around snapped off, luckily I was in a parking lot and had AAA.
