The first picture shows the absolute carnage left behind by a seized, rusted idler pulley. It completely shredded the drive belt, turning it into a massive bird's nest of rubber and wire. This is exactly why regular PMs are so critical—catching a worn bearing early saves your unit from going down hard on the road.
Getting this Thermo King back in action wasn't just a quick belt swap. In picture two you can see us tearing into the drive assembly, the compressor pulled out of the way so we can add a new belt, bushings, and clear out the debris.
The final image shows the wider view of the compressor bay as we get everything realigned, tensioned, and ready to drop temps again. Notice the TRS mark on the alternator—we always make sure our components are marked so you know what was changed and when! 🥶
Don't wait for a snap to get your re**er units checked. Give us a call to schedule your early summer PM!
