A serpentine belt has a specific length according to the make and model of the engine to which it is fitted. Its purpose is to drive additional features on the engine, such as the water pump, alternator etc. Bypassing any of these auxiliaries would mean the engine would not function correctly and ultimately would damage the engine perhaps beyond repair.
Put the serpentine belt around the pulleys on your 2001 Chrysler LHS. Tighten the serpentine belt by pushing the tensioner pulley to the left. Tighten down the tensioner pulley and the serpentine belt will be tight.
You can tighten the serpentine belt on your 2005 Chrysler 300 by tightening the tensioner pulley. Push the tensioner pulley to the right until the serpentine belt is tight.
it's the middle pulley...good luck getting to it though..lol
It is on the front of the crank, under the pulley and timng chain.
It is the smaller pulley in the center rear of the belt.
The tension on a serpentine belt is automatically set by the Idler Tension Pulley. If you find it is not correctly setting the tension, the the spring may be broken.
After removing the right front tire and fender liner, you remove the serpentine belt. You then remove the crank bolt and use a puller to remove the pulley.After removing the right front tire and fender liner, you remove the serpentine belt.

I looked under my Pacifica, and it looks like youneed a special tool. the tensioner pulley leaves very little room for what I used on other cars: a 3/8" drive ratchet. why the pulley is so close to the frame is one the same questions I have asked myself for years about American engineering. This is why the japs are kicking our ass!
It is right hand thread. Turn counter clockwise to loosen.
