Belt Positioning
My son just got a 1986 F150 4.9, no A/C. The power steering belt broke, and I picked up a new one at NAPA. I think they may have given me the wrong one. Does this belt go directly from the fan pully to the PS pulley? Crank pulley to PS? or does it go around both crank and fan and then to the PS pulley? The belt I have will only go from the crank or fan pulley to the PS. Thanks. I don't have a diagram in the engine compartment.

Actually it should go around the crank pulley, fan/water pump, then the ps pump:

Its the alternator that should only have a belt from the crank pulley to the alt.

Also have an '83 with a V8 and air. That one looks complicated, but is a kitty-cat to work on...

My old 300 had the belt from the crank to the pump, and that was it. But, some trucks did run it over the water pump also. My truck was non A/C, had 2 alternator belts(both ran over the water pump) the P/S belt, and the air pump belt ran off of the water pump pulley alone.
