Hey guys,
I replaced my serpentine belt last week because the old one was starting to crack and stretch. Soon after this, I'm getting a harsh metal on metal sound coming from the front of the Jeep. It's primarily when I turn right and will continue to do so for a bit after the initial contact. It sounds like the fan is catching something like a pulley (found a small wear spot on the crank shaft pulley. It will even continue to do so after the Jeep is shut off, as the fan is slowing down. The bolts are not loose on it at all.
It won't do it when I start it up and look under the hood, only while driving. Any ideas on why there is contact being made and how to fix it? The noise is god awful and really worries me. I had searched a little and some said motor mounts should be checked in case the engine is **** eyed in the bay, but it's got Brown dog offroad motor mounts on it. Maybe transmission mount? Thanks for any and all leads,
Derek
