I heard a rattling noise from under the hood today so I pulled over and the pulley bolt had backed out and was being held in by the pulley cover. I had put in a no slip 2.93 pulley from amazon the other day and thought I'd cranked it down tight. Does anyone use locktite with this? :shrug:
Pulley bolt backed out?

got pictures?
Put blue or red locktite on the threads of the bolt and reinstall it. It should not back out ever again. I used blue locktite on mine and it hasn't backed out yet.
So the bolts coming back out is a common thing?
Never seen the bolt do that. In fact the bolt is not even needed. The last batch of 03's don't even have the bolt just a plastic trim plug in it. Ford no doubt saved a coouple cents by doing this.
