- 97 Explorer AWD 5.0L
First of all thanks to everyone who makes this forum. I never tried to fix anything beyond lights before this forum. This community is almost like having the Dad you wished you'd had to teach you things about vehicle maintenance.
Now to my issue. I have a 97 Explorer AWD 5.0L, 97K miles. I replaced my serpentine belt with a gator belt today. I triple checked routing via diagram under hood and fired it up. Sounded & looked great. Shifted into reverse and it shuddered for 1 second then stabilized. Back out of garage ok, shift into drive and shudderes again 1 sec, then stable. Drive around neighborhood slow with windows down. Sounds and feels ok. All gauges in normal range.
Should I be worried by this and what's up with the shudder? Any input appreciated and thanks!
