SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
If the vehicle is driven through deep or drifted snow the serpentine drive belt may be forced off of its pulleys by snow coming in between the belt and the pulleys.
DIAGNOSIS:
Determine the road conditions the driver of the vehicle was encountering at the time the serpentine belt came off. Verify all of the pulleys are in proper alignment and pulleys and accessories are properly attached. If the driver of the vehicle indicates deep or drifted snow may have been a factor in the serpentine belt coming off its pulleys and any pulley mis-alignment and/or accessory/pulley attachment problem has been corrected, perform the following repair procedure.
PARTS REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
This bulletin involves attaching a shield to the power steering pump and the power steering pump bracket that prevents snow from coming in between the serpentine belt and the power steering pump pulley.
1. Re-install the serpentine drive belt or replace with a new belt if damaged.
2. Remove the second from the bottom bolt that attaches the power steering pump bracket to the engine block.
NOTE:
ON EARLY BUILT 1991 MODEL VEHICLES, IF THERE IS A TAB ON THE POWER STEERING BRACKET THAT INTERFERES WITH THE FIT OF THE SHIELD, IT IS NECESSARY TO SAW IT OFF. DO NOT BREAK THE TAB OFF.
3. Position the shield (P/N 4773892) so its mounting hole (closest to the oval cutout of the shield) goes over the stud on the back of the power steering pump and the other mounting hole is aligned with the hole of power steering pump bracket from which the bolt was removed in step 2.
4. Install the lower power steering pump bracket attaching bolt and torque to 30 - 50 ft.lbs. (40.7 - 67.8 N-m).
5. Install nut/washer (P/N 6501926) on the stud at the back of the power steering pump and torque to 30 - 50 ft.lbs. (40.7 - 67.8 N-m).
