    1991 4.0L Aerostar. My A/C compressor is no good. I want to install a smaller belt.

    Autozone. The choice was $27 or $29 plus tax. Had to buy it to try to get home. Didn't make it but managed to drive the last mile with no belt. Working on it at home much better that Walmart parking lot. ...:aerostar:...:us:...:salute:...

    93 alternator reply you are so right. my parts van is a 93 not a 95. either a typo or "brain skip". :eek: the 93 has the bolt adjuster method with the 3.0 engine. it's the 91 that I drive and it has the spring tension system. 4.0 engine. :salute: the 1991 4.0 alternator has 2 plastic plug...
