He pressed the pulley on further, went to the auto store and got me a heavy duty belt, then we took it for a test drive. I asked if it was HIS truck, would he continue on to Alaska? He thought a minute, checked out a few things, and said yes. I trusted his ability, and continued on to Alaska, including the Top Of The World Highway. Made it back to Michigan too, all with no further problems. Add in too mountain passes, dips, ruts, and potholes. I had no further issues with that belt!
Very helpful and quick
2004 Sierra 3500 SLT, 6.6 turbo diesel
In early June, 2016, I was on my way to Alaska from Michigan's UP, pulling a heavily loaded travel trailer. I also had about 1500 lbs of cargo in my pickup box. Sears in Fargo, ND, replaced 4 serpentine (yes *4*!) and a power steering unit. I made it to Malta and again blew a belt. I over-nighted in a parking lot.
The cost of repairs were manageable, done fast, and I owe it to this garage and mechanic for allowing me to continue my long-life dream of going to Alaska. The mechanic sure knew his stuff. Thank you CAPC!!
Nice friendly guys. I'm from out of town and needed some work done. Not badly priced for small town. Had a lil problem brought it back and fixed right away.
Next morning I drove to Central Avenue Pit Crew and waited 2 hrs until they opened. I didn't know what to expect, as i didn't know the area or the people, and I was 99% certain I would be turning back home once I got the truck fixed. I explained that I blew a belt and was told "drive right in and I'll have my diesel mechanic look at it". What? I real-to-life diesel mechanic? Here?? AWESOME!
Best bang for the buck in the state. Had lots of work done from exhausts to tires to alternators etc. Experienced mechanics that do a great job.
The mechanic took one look and said, "I see your problem. We'll have it fixed and you'll be on your way". I was leery at such a quick diagnosis, and from such a "young" mechanic. I asked what the problem was, and he told me that Sears didn't press the pulley on tight enough when they replaced the steering unit.
