| Message: | I am new to this forum and really glad I found this site! I had an unusual experience yesterday with my 84' 300 SD and I am hoping someone can give me some info. While driving along yesterday I suddenly heard a growling slapping sound under the hood. I Pulled over, took a look and saw what looks like a broken fan belt wrapped around the bell housing of the fan. There are wires also wrapped around it that I can't seem to untangle. I was able to remove the rubber part that was flapping around. I cannot tell where the broken belt is from? since all the belts seem to be in place. Also, the overflow tube fitting on top of the radiator broke off as well?!! Looks like it snapped where it joined the top of the radiator.. Can anyone tell me what might have gone wrong here and what kind of repair I am looking at? Very expensive? Its like two things at the same time. I am baffled as to what went wrong and how what looks like a broken belt with wires got wrapped around the fan. No indication of missing belts that I can see. thanks for any help. jb | ||||
