Use Threadlocker!!!
Put the insurance back on the stang today and went for a drive. On my way home, I got on it a little bit and there was A TON of vibration above 2500 rpm. Even at idle, I could feel alot of vibration through the shifter. I limped the car home and checked for damage. I saw my serpentine belt hanging half way off my pulleys and my water pump pulley was all crooked. I looked at the water pump pulley and only saw two bolts holding it on!! The other two flew off somewhere on the road. It was a miracle I made it home.
Now I need two new bolts, a new fan clutch and a new fan blade (both were bent)...all this happened because I was too lazy to use threadlocker when I put my pulleys on. So if it says, use threadlock...USE IT!! Learn from my mistake!!
