If it's rear radiator like our Tiffin it's about a $1000 repair due to taking several men (3) and removing the air-filter and sometimes the muffler to get to the belt through from the side, bedroom and from the bottom to thread the belt. Have had two changed, $970 1st time at a Freightliner shop $1005 the second time at an independent repair center. If I ever upgrade it will be to a side radiator coach.

I have the parts list so I will check it out. You are likely correct. FYI the pulls was around $250, if I get a chance I will post a pic of the invoice with the parts list.

Hey Tempest,
Thanks for getting back to me on this. If you haven't been to Quartzsite before, for the big event, it's pretty cool. We've been oh, about 8-9 times or so, maybe more. After a while, it get's to be monotonous but, you'll enjoy it. The big tent for the most part, gets too darn crowded for us. Lots of stuff to do and see and, of course, BUY!
We'd be down there with you (somewhat nearby) but, as stated earlier in this thread, I've got the back end of the coach apart so I can replace MY fan hub bearing and, water pump and a few other goodies. Maybe next year. By the way, I'm assuming you meant PULLEY, not "Pulls".
Scott

Thanks Scott, Brett and everyone for your feedback.
I will have to confess I am totally un-mechanical. My late husband was in charge of that end of the MH. So I am not sure if the bearing is sealed or greasable. I will check the invoice and see if it says anything.
The access to the motor is terrible. Just getting the cover off under the bed is ridiculous. The access panel is not very big.
Now the good part is that the parts came in overnight. Arrived by 9:30 this AM. Was reassembled in a couple of hours. Took it out for a test drive. All seems great. Headed out to Quartzsite around noon. Everything seems good now.
Parts and shipping $899. I also had them replace the air filter while they were in there. That was included in the parts cost. Total with labour and taxes $1,660.
I have to say the service at Great West Truck in Needles was very good. They let us stay in the MH as we had our dogs with us and gave us power. They were efficient and the total cost was $80 less then the quote. So I have no complaints.
On edit FYI there are 108,000 miles on the motorhome.
