Phil. When I got home my wife said she could hear the truck long before I made the turn onto our street. I also notice people will turn and look about 60 yards away so that sound can carrry some distance.

Back on Canada Day when I lost the fan belt, that’s when I realized something was up with how quiet it got. Then the temp gauge started climbing.

With yesterday’s great drive, the temp never went above 185-190on the gauge and the oil pressure was right at 10psi.

As for the correct combination of pulley size. There is a multi page Service Bulletin on that topic. Even during the war there were a lot of different configurations.
