Replacing the pulley on a FC to fix the belt issues
Joe,
I removed the A/C compressor in our FC due to freon leaks in the condenser hoses
and
the estimated cost of updating/repairing a system that wouldn't cool the whole
coach in
Louisiana/Texas summers anyway. I replaced the A/C drive belt with a second one
between the crank and radiator fan. There is a 3208 belt data drawing in the
files section
you may refer to on this change.

Most belt problems I've had on our coach is with the power steering belt
slipping during
low speed turns. I open up the front of the coach to check belts for condition
and tension
annually. This spring, I'm going to look into a two groove pulley for the power
steering
pump to see if it will improve the situation.

Regards, Eric in San Antonio
