"strange" a/c belt
ON MY 03 4D TACO 3.4L....TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN I PUT MY A/C BELT BACK ON (AFTER CHANGEING THE H.G.) AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF RUNNING THE A/C THE BELT BURNT UP AND SNAPPED ...THE CAUSE WAS THE SEALED BEARINGS IN THE ROTOR SEIZED UP..THIS WAS STRANGE..I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE BELT TO TIGHT AND PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BEARINGS...ANYWAY THE COMPRESSER WAS STILL OK AND ALL I THOUGHT I NEEDED WAS ANOTHER ROTOR AND CLUTCH..FINALLY WENT TO THE BONE YARD AND GOT ANOTHER ROTOR AND CLUTCH...WHEN I TOOK IT OFF..IT BASICALLY CAME OFF PRETTY EASY OFF THE COMPRESSER SHAFT AND THE BEARINGS WHERE STILL SEALED AND SPUN GOOD AND SNUG..ALTHOUGH THE ROTOR WAS A LITTLE LARGER IN DIAMETER THEN THE ORIGINAL I WENT A BOUGHT A BELT THAT WAS 1/2 INCH LONGER..BEFORE I REINSTALLED IT.. I HAD TO USE A LITTLE SAND PAPER ON THE ALUMINUM SHAFT WHERE THE OLD BEARING CASE DUG INTO IT A LITTLE BIT..IT SEEMED FINE AND THE BONE YARD ROTOR WENT ON JUST FINE..WITH JUS A FIRM PUSH..NOT AT ALL LOOSE....PUT THE BELT BACK ON AND TIGHTENED IT ACORRDING TO SPECS..ABOUT AFTER AN HOUR, OF USAGE..MY A/C LIGHT WENT OUT AND AFTER I GOT HOME FOUND THE 10 AMP FUSE BLEW..I REPLACED IT..STARTED IT UP AND IT STARTED SQUEELING ..THE ROTOR SIEZED UP BUT I MANAGED TO SHUT IT OFF BEFORE THE BELT BROKE..IS IT BAD LUCK??? OR SOMETHING ELSE???
THANKS
