1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L I6 HO
I got my Jeep for free over the summer because it needed almost as much money put into it as it was worth. After fixing everything that needed to be fixed, it was running fine for about 2 weeks, until the idler pulley started squealing and about 2 days later, the bearing blew to pieces. I replaced it that day and it ran without any problems or squeals for about a week, when the squealing started again, eventually seizing up. I replaced it, leaving it again, running fine for about 2 weeks (I drove about 50 miles in that time.) I now have the same squeal. Can anybody tell me why I keep blowing through idler pulleys? My cousin had the same problem with his 89 pioneer, but not as severe.
