I've had the truck for years. It just started spitting the belt off the tensionerand throwing it on the ground. I've seen a couple photos of the belt running on the forward most grooves photo attached. These grooves are barely the width of the belt and feel like rubber though.

Ok... so I was under the truck today looking at the belt route from a different angle and it dawned on me to start looking at parts diagrams rather than belt diagrams and I saw a couple images that surprised me. Apparently the belt may be designed to ride on the forward most pully on the...

Still not up and running. I haven't been able to locate the cause. The tensioner arm on this engine has the pulley facing the rear of the engine and the tensioner arm on the forward side. I am not sure what direction the belt rotates ( I am assuming clockwise) but the new belt seems to derail...

What am I checking there?

Just don't know why it is so far out of alignment it is solid no wiggle etc

I'm over 215k on the original. Weirdly random thing to happen as I was heading up to the gas station from home. I guess I should be glad it didn't leave me stranded somewhere

Belt came off. I replaced it and it came off again. I noticed that the forward edge of the tensioner pulley (toward the front of the vehicle) had no edge ridge on it and it was walking off pulling the belt to the outside grooves on the harmonic balancer. Replaced the pulley on the tensioner and...

Well, depends on care but I had a 1995 explorer sport (the two door not the truck thing) 4.0, 5 speed. When my youngest graduated law school he wanted it to move to Washington DC from Phoenix AZ. We drove it all the way across the country making pit stops in all kinds of places including the...

I had a 1995 fex

I just replaced the rear passenger regulator. It comes out easy. I cant imaging how to get the motor out without removing the regulator too. only 3 nuts to remove. It was pretty easy. Take the speaker out as well so you can get in there from both sides. I used a wooden stake through a...

Well the problem has been corrected... at least for now. I was able to get Freon into the system. Apparently the new self-sealing cans don't work with the taps I have that go with the puncture tops because the minute you back out the needle, the can seals... So, short story short, it is...

The compressor clutch cycles but it seems to do so very quickly (like on 3 seconds. off 5 seconds.) I did get the recirc door off the top of the blower motor so I now have serious air flow. I will dig into that issue in a week or two to replace it. How long should the compressor clutch cycle...

Just picked up an '04 xlt. The heat works and the blower works but the AC is producing nothing if not slightly hotter than ambient temp. After a run on the freeway for a bit, the temp is barely cooler than ambient. The fan sounds like is should be pushing way more air than it does but that...
