When a shop/parts guy tells you a similar part will work and when you go to install it, it doesn't? I figured the alternator in my little Ranger was bad so I phoned around to get some prices on a rebuilt exchange. I called one place and they said maybe it only needed brushes or something simple and might be cheap to fix the one I had. They were $25 cheaper if I needed an exchange alt. Well, I needed an exchange alternator. It had a smaller pulley but the guy said it will actually turn faster and work better. OK. Drove 45 minutes out to my land in the gas pig 6.0L Chev. to put it on. Put the 3 bolts in and went to slip the belt on. The slack adjuster was all the way in(tight) and the belt was still really loose. Out come the 3 bolts and I have to make a 1 1/2 hour round trip to get the proper alternator and pulley. A bigger pulley would have better than a smaller one but I even questioned the guy about it. So much for saving $25. I'll spend more than that on gas getting the right pulley. Why the guy didn't just change the pulleys is beyond me, they rebuild the alts. in house. I'd like to give the guy a shot upside the head. Anyone else gone through something like this and how did you handle it? Dave

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
