| Idler pully broke and flew off going down the road at 65mph.the extended warranty does not cover that certain pully but covers the others,much to my surprise. now 7 months later the tension pully breaks,now that is a covered item with the extended warranty but now my truck is over the mileage . i'd like to know if there has been others with the same problem besides myself and i have two friends that have had pulley problems. please inform me as to whom i may be in contact with to find out if there was a recall on these pulleys.,*ak | |||

| The consumer was driving a ford f-37 u-haul straight truck pulling a trailer. when he noticed smoke coming from under the truck he pulled over and tried to put it out with fire extinguisher but he could not. the vehicle burnt out resulting in property damage to the consumer, the cause of the fire was an engine oil leak in which the oil leaked onto the exhaust (ohio traffic report#10-91-594). *yh | |||
