I just got all my pulleys today. They look great and my son likes them too.

Medieval, when I sent back my crank pulley, I didn't put any paperwork in the box.

Here's the original one I got from another vendor here.

I just wanted to share my disguist for people selling the old power steering pulley. I guess too many people can't be trusted. Brach sent out the replacement pullies in good faith. This shows why it is needed for you to send in your original pulley to get a replacement. What is to stop this person from asking for a replacement pulley too.

There is more people that do it than many think. We have replaced 15 more PS pulleys than we orginally made with the first patch. This is why policy's change.

Still never rec'd a crank pulley......got the replacement for the large pulley(cant even remember which is which its been so long) but no crank at all.
 
So, what is wrong with the first batch? I believe I had purchased one on the first run, havent installed yet, its in storage? Do they have a different design? And which pulley are we talking about, the PS pulley from that ebay pic, something wrong with them?

First run of the crank pulley had screws that didn't withstand the forces IIRC, would shear off, then your crank position wheel would be spinning about, resulting in utterly screwed timing.
 
Anybody else getting really bad (but pretty short lived) belt squeal? They're properly tensioned, and I'm having a hard time diagnosing what the problem is exactly. Tempted to rough up the polished PS pulley, as I suspect that might have something to do with it.

yeah i get it too. especially when i turn the A/C on. i just assumed it was from spilling P/S fluid on the A/C pulley when i removed the pump.

and/or destroyed CPS.... P.S, don't buy one form autozone, they sell garbage sensors that don't work, go to advanced auto, they sell borg warner sensors.
