I bought this 2001 Chevy Impala LS for $500 expecting to replace a couple parts and send it down the road running like a top. This 216,000 mile car had other plans in mind for me. After getting the alternator off and removing the belt tensioner assembly I checked the pulley on the power steering pump and found the pump itself disintegrated. I picked up a replacement P/S pump, swapped the pulley, installed the new pump and reassembled the car. At that point I had a random misfire and ABS issues to deal with. I fixed the misfire by replacing all the spark plugs with NGK V-Power Platinum and the wheel speed sensor by soldering the harness back together and securing it all properly. Cleaning the car took hours and I should've outsourced that part of the job. After that I reassembled the dash and replaced many of the burnt out interior lights with LEDs. Parts Used:

Gates Belt Tensioner Assembly 38271:
