Serpentine Belt Issues
I am trying to install a Serpentine belt on a 93 Econoline. The New belt and the old belt are the same Manufacturer and have the same part number however, the New belt seems to be a good 4 inches shorter than the old belt. I figured this was due to the Old belt stretching and continued.
I removed the Old belt by lifting the Tensioner in the counterclockwise direction as listed on the Decal noting the pathing of the old belt. Now is where I run into issues. I am trying to get the new belt in place but even with the tensioner completely lifted the new belt is still quite a bit too short to make it over all the pulleys.
Any ideas would be a great help.
Thanks
Bob
