Hey Everyone,
Happy New Years. Today I have a problem. Today my wife was driving her Liberty when suddenly it started to die first the power steering, then the radio and a/c, next she started to overheat...and finally she died. She got AAA to tow her home. When I got home I was prepared for the battery or alternator to be kapoot. Well when I opened the hood and assessed the situation the first thing I see is well the belt missing. I laughed because I figured I was going to be a easy fix. So I bought a new belt and jumped the battery, she was dead after all the struggling. Turned her on and she ran for about 30 seconds.
The first 10 were really rough as if it was having issues. Next 20 seconds she ran fine...then the belt popped off. I looked at everything and spun all the pullies, one of the pullies spun or wobbled crookedly and I new I was in trouble. Now I am not sure what specific name this pully is or the function is. I know it is the one next to the tensioner and is smooth and black, no teeth or rails. I'm usually a youtube watcher and fix it if I can. I have attached a photo so that everyone can see. Please can anyone tell what pully this is. How much is going to cost to buy the part. And if its a easy fix once I get the part. Should I get a used part from a junkyard. I would gladly appreciate your help.
