Aurora Girl is right. You know, people actually taking time for you to try to help deserves a thanks regardless if they are right or wrong. Looking at previous threads of yours you tend to ask for information but basically tell them to **** off and they're wrong. This is free advice and none of these people are getting paid to help you solve your problem. You know how hard it is sometimes for someone to figure out a problem over the internet? We're not there with you next to the truck in question so why you getting mad? It's ok to get frustrated and not everyone agrees but it's annoying to see you start and thread and drag it out into something that you make out to be stupid hard when it's really not. Sometimes you just gotta wing it and fill in the blanks as you go. Ask the mechanic shop for **** sake. Almost every single time I ask a mechanic for advice they're willing to give it to me for free so I can avoid bringing it in and paying them to do so. You know what's also rude, wannabuyaford? Telling people they're annoying and you want to block them. Where's your manners?

Moral of the story is take the free advice people give and move on. Good and honest folk are trying to help and you just keep pushing them away as if they know nothing.

There might be a way to help that. No idea what the phone is but on my Samsung galaxy you can choose what quality you want at the top of the screen. If you can't do that just take the picture, open your gallery, open the picture you want and take a screen shot and post it. I've had the same problem before.

Thank you.. This is exactly why everyone has dipped out of helping the OP, including myself.

Just slap a used smog pump on it and get on the road. Problem solved.

Im saying his bringing it up is more about making a scene than an actual inquiry into the feature.

I installed the adapter I linked above and replaced the pulley that came on it with the larger one that is sold as a replacement for the ac delete pulley and I am back to a factory length belt and the tensioner is in the middle of its travel.

HEY THATS AWESOME! Actual helpfulness about the OPs problem but not from the OP himself. Im glad that worked. Could you please snap some pictures to share with us? The belt you sourced would be for a 1995 F150 with a 5.8, federal emissions, with AC(Still has AC?) and other accessories as stock (beside the missing air pump)?
