Haha ikr fking sucks

idk about sending it to get rebuilt, I feel like a reman Toyota oem dealer alternator would be better or at least just as good

Cleaned is going well. I accidentally scratched the fan/fan clutch pulley which is a smooth pulley. It’s small and u can barely feel it with your fingers, hopefully it doesn’t cause issues. Still not sure if I’m going to replace the alternator. I only use OEM Toyota Lexus parts, and it’s...

The drivebelt was just under a year old, about 6k miles, and a Toyota oem bando branded. I don’t cheap out on parts or maintenance. This was a very high quality Toyota dealership serpentine belt made by bando. The bandos at the auto parts store looked cheaply made but interestingly the Toyota...

Didn’t make zero audible indication i really don’t get it, the alternator was the cause, but the alternator pulley has zero melted rubber, just every other pulley does. Makes no sense.

This is the ps pulley

I think the only pulley that will be necessary on is the crank pulley. A pick is working really well on the ones I can reach.

Some of them yes but I would rather not remove the ac compressor or the crank pulley

It’s a 01 tundra they didn’t use plastic pulley garbage, but I am worried about scratching of messing up one of the pulley grooves

I’ll upload one tonight, but just envision melting a rubber serpentine belt into every single pulley grove all the way down to the bottom of the groove, and raised above the grooves a 8th of an inch

Will do tonight. Was maybe thinking a pressure washer would remove it.

Good to hear, I’ll just turn the crank by hand with a breaker bar when I need a new angle

Thanks for the response, but when you say I’m screwed with the crank pulley, wdym? Because later on you describe how you would clean the crank pulley. Thanks really stressing about this. I’m screwed until I fix it

Okay thanks. Really stressing about it

This is tar
