1995 belt and missing hose

I just purchased my dream truck and need to resolve the following problems.

Exhaust leak at left manafold

Belt is riding on shoulder of pulley

missing hose ?

I am going to replace the gasket on the exhaust manafold.

Can someone tell me if how I can tell if I have the correct alternater. The guy before me replaced it and I think it is the wrong one.

Can anyone tell me where the air intake on the smoge hose goes to ?
I could use a photo of a 1995 engine compartment.

How do I post photos of the belt and missing hose

I am also looking for factory ford service manuals.

A picture of what you have may help. What location is this hose? Which pulley seems like it's not in line?

I have a couple engine pics in my "1995 F-150" gallery. I don't know if they'll show what you're looking for or not.

If the belt isnt in right, take the tenssion off the belt and put it into the right spot. You might have to replace the belt. The smog pump have 2 hoses. 1 is the intake of the pump and the other goes 2 the vac res canister.

THis is a pic of the hoses that go to the smog pump. I removed them.

Photos of the two problems.

I think the wrong alternator was installed causing the belt alignment issue since the alternator pulley does not allign.


The engine is a 5.8.

I would like to buy the hose and canister if you still have it.

If what I'm seeing in the picture is correct, the alternator pulley sits too far back in relation to the water pump pully, but the tensioner is even farther back? Or am I seeing a funny angle from the camara?

You might try to get the number on the alt and post it, or run it by numbersdummy..but something definately doesn't look right...does the water pump pully line up correctly with the crank pulley? And the power steering and all is correct? It is just the alt that is out of alignment?

and danr1 is correct, I believe that is a vent to atmosphere, and no hose ever went there.

Hard to tell in the picture, but to me it looks like the belt is just not positioned on the alt pulley correctly...ie one rib off to the front. (Either that or it has the wrong pulley on it...should be a K6 belt and pulley..there is too much backspace showing). If that is the case and it has just been running misinstalled (off a rib) I would recommend replacing the belt with a new one though as this will have damaged the one on the truck. Good luck.

Thanks for the hely

Guys,

Thanks for the advice..

The belt keeps running off of the alternator pulley.

My buddy at the autoparts store gave me another alternator to check with.

I will let you know how I make out.

The answer

I replaced the tensioner when fixing the exhaust manafold.

It did the trick.

The old tensioner had rounded on the sides and felt a little loose and must have been driving the belt off of the altenator.
