Re: Serpentine belt breaking

I got very lucky. First they put water in the radiator, it was nearly empty. Water began puring out the side. They put in a new radiator, belt, and idler pulley. I guess it locked up and that is what cut the belt. There was no antifreeze in the oil, so good there. The truck runs better now than it ever has, I think the pulley going bad took some horsepower away. The engine is quet now too, very smooth. The dealer was very honest, and I am very happy. It did cost me $770 though. Better than the $11,000 the truck I was looking at on the lot would have cost.
