| Alternator and water pump are designed too far apart; this causes the belt to move up and down, hitting the air pump and wearing the belt away. when it breaks, it tangles in other belts, causing them to jump off and shred themselves. vehicle loses power steering/brakes and water pump. *ak | |||

| Thanks; i need help: i am driving along and the engine just stops. i am at a stop light and when i take off i only go a few yards, and the engine stops.i am at a stop sign, and the engine just stops. i have been towed 3 times in the last 3 months by aaa. i wait a while most of the time and the engine will start again after about 30 minutes.my wife is 70 years and i am 67. and we are too old for things like this to put with things like this. we are afraid to leave town now. i have taken the truck to a ford dealer,pet boy's,and a auto repair shop. they all want to do a lot of things and one had a bill for over $800.00. now i found out on the news it probably is the tfi modules.that is in a law suit.i have spent over $500.00 already. every place said it is something else.we are retired and on a fixed income and this is costing too much. i need help. thanks kenneth connor | |||
