Threw belt

Belt is in perfect shape, but it just flew off the engine, antifreeze all over but can't see from where, I am guessing water pump and tensioner and I shold be ok? Never saw one come off intact they always had tears trying to think why it slipped off like that, running hot as I pulled over the belt was off just hanging there
 


Might have nothing to do with the water pump. Check the tensioner. When the belt came off, the antifreeze might have just boiled over from lack of a water pump.
 


Oh god, 337,000 miles on the original elbows?! I'm surprised they lasted that long, get some new ones. I'm thinking the belt may have struck an elbow when it flew off and caused a leak.

When I replaced mine at about 80,000 the old ones fell apart in my hands.

Read that bill and I am glad I did I would have butsed that sucker in no tme LOL so based on what seven said and whatv scottys told me once what I am guessing that elbow that is part of the alt bracket does not get changed correct
 
correct, its part of the alt bracket, you take the new O ring off the new unused elbow, put it on the cast elbow and your set.
