I was driving home last night and i heard a really bad noise coming from the engine and before i could even get a chance to pull over, my power steering goes and I knew something was fucked under the hood.
I pulled over, look, and the serpentine belt was ripped and had come off the pulleys. I drove really slow home and then I heard liquid pouring out from below the jeep so i pulled over again and it was pissing coolant but it was too dark to see where it was coming from.
Since I wasnt too far from home, I drove home with no alternator/power steering, and radiator fan. The tempature was pretty high, probably around 240 ish and my oil pressure gauage was lower than normal.
I took a look at it this morning and went to napa to get a new belt. They said its probably the water pump that was pissing the fluid, so we went home and checked it and the pulley on the water pump is fucked. The pulley wont really spin freely and its like warped sort of.
Has this happened to anyone else ever and how hard is it to change a water pump and get the belt back around all the pulleys?
