Any help is appreciated. This is the 6th time I'm doing this job. The bolts for the fan belt tensioner mount keep breaking. I'm out of ideas. I have replaced everything. I've tried different grade bolts and even studs. I think the problem is with the metal surface you can see breaking away at the 2 bolt holes. If that's the case it will require a new engine as it is part of the block and not a cover. Any ideas or advice? The fan hub turns freely and is working properly. That's all this belt runs. |

The block is not aluminum. Funny I said something about electric fans too but I do not think they make them big enough that will fit. I would have to fill the front and rear of the radiator with them probably lol. Every time I look at the engine running on this truck, which is a lot now everything looks fine and then one evening I get the call or the warehouse will bring it to me with a belt squeal and bam! the tensioner and bracket are in the fan shroud. This truck is acting like the 2 damn Internationals I have lol
