So I go out and start up the jeep this morning and the first thing I hear is a wonderful loud metal scraping noise. It gets worse and worse by the time I get to my college campus where it is obnoxiously loud. What a great way to start my birthday. I pop the hood with it running to track down the noise. I determine it is coming from the front of the engine bay. I turn the Jeep off and I see that the mechanical fan is just barely making contact with the crankshaft pulley. I also notice that the fan belt on the mechanical fan pulley is sitting almost halfway forward off the pulley. Now I have not had a chance to explore what is wrong other than that since I had to get to class and its raining today. but has anyone had this problem? Has my mechanical fan some how moved back or my crank shaft pulley moved forward? I did notice I'm close to being due for a new fan belt so I'll probably go ahead and replace that while I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. Any insight or suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
