I wish I could find the answer to this question...no one seems to know, not even the dealer...!
I work at a dealer and our parts book only lists one part number, I am not sure where the aftermarket part stores get the two listings.
Thanks for double checking that for me. I was hoping it was the 18 mm. It seemed more common and was the cheeper of the two (112 $) so I ordered it though bumper to bumper and took it to the Dodge dealer that has my truck. (who by the way would not take the old one off to measure the shaft until I had a new one there, but was quick to charge me 110$ to tell me I need a new pump...which I already new) They finally took the old one off today and after screwing around for I don't know yet how many hours, they tell me it's the wrong one! So tomorrow I get to return the 18 mm and buy a 17 mm pump (200$) and I'm sure pay a restocking fee. Still cheeper then the 528$ Dodge wanted for there rebuilt in red deer. I'm curious to see how much they try to sting me for after all this!...I read a rumer today somewhere that if there is a N in the vin, then it is a 17mm...hopefully that is the case!
It is either 17mm or 18mm - if the pump is marked U61 it is 17mm
i just went through the same thing pull off the pump and look at the white sticker if it says u61 it is a 17mm pulley shaft if it says u76 it is the 18mm
First, let engine cool down. Next get a 17mm box wrench, and use the open side on the tensioner, and pull back on it... The belt will slide right off. Sources * I own a 01 neon, high output motor, modified.
If you use a 16mm socket is about 63nm. If it's a 17mm socket you're using is 80nm
