Update #1

Just got call. Parts are in and mechanic service is on the way. Guessing that all will soon be well. Will post if otherwise.

Thanks Larry, problem is stranded, no tools other than basic screwdriver, adj wrench and a pair of pliers and no way to get to anyone. Did fine a pulley other side of Louisville but without a rental car no way to get there easily either. On the way to Michigan to get tools etc but going wrong way for that right now.

Thanks all,

Don

all is well, other than wallet

Got parts, got installed and completed trip. Back in Florida today. Pulley from NAPAS 149, Service call 2 hours @75, 30 fuel charge and 65 for Service call. About $400 overall. Not cheap but at least all is now well.

Thanks all for the replies and phone calls.

Don
