Broken down help needed

[Comin' in Hot]

My trilogy broke down at a gas station about 30 miles from home, one of my idler pulleys decided to come apart, I just got another used pulley as a patch to get my car home, my question is- is it ok to drive my car home without the trilogy belt on?

Forget it, I limped it home using no more than 1/4 throttle

It's no big deal, it'll be back on the road by tonight if I have an hour to work on it.

I had the same thing happen a few years ago. I limped home without a problem.

You should be able to pull the belt and drive it w/o problems. I had an issue with my Eaton around a year ago, asked the same question. Main thing that will happen that the car will run real rich under heavy acceleration or WOT without any boost, but running the car without driving the blower for a short period won't hurt the engine.

The trilogy is back on service

Yes you can drive a trilogy car without the blower belt on. :up:
