i noticed my cp3 pulley is bent, it doesnt feel loose but it sure does wobble when the truck is idling.i noticed it a few thousand miles ago but forgot about it afterwards. you can see the belt slacking up at the tensioner everytime it goes around. is this a problem or is it normall, am i the only one w/ a bent pulley? you would think it would wear out the cp3 or even worse cause uneven tension on the crankpulley and eventually over time wear the main bearings???

i also noticed the small pulley on the top under the upper rad hose (waterpump???) is also a little wobbly, but nowhere near as bad as the cp3.

i dont want to take it in under warranty if its normal and have them look at me like i have two heads on my shoulders.

The cp3 is actually gear driven. Look again at the pulleys.

unless he is running twin pumps
which isnt in his sig....

I would not run that pulley. It'll end up damaging your tensioner.

is the cp3 above the power steering pump? maybe im confused, ive never seen a cp3, just assumed that was it. it must be the power steering pump pulley.

whatever pulley it is, its definately bent. and what is the smaller pulley up top under the coolant hose?

Mine has been that way for 104,000, just hate to take it in, but it is still going fine.

alright, checked out the chrysler service manual and learned a few things

it is the power steering pump pulley and also the idler pulley is slightly wobbly as well. next time im near the dealer maybee i will stop by and show them to see what they say.

sorry for the confusion, ive never seen a cp3 before and just assumed thats what it was but common sense should have told me otherwise i guess

so is the cp3 the fuel pump or the high pressure pump? i know the lift pump is in the tank. just trying to learn a few things

Cp3 is the high pressure pump. Lift pump gets the fuel to the cp3.
