where is the tensioner for the serpentine belt on a 2004 ford ranger
Take it to the dealer
You can remove the old serpentine belt on your 2004 Dodge Ram by loosening the tensioner pulley. Put the new serpentine belt on and tighten it with the tensioner pulley.
Take it to the stealership. The only way to get to the tensioner is to build your own tool. If you were the type who could build his/her own tool, you wouldn't be posting on answers.com.
easylook under the hood there is a sticker that shows you how Easy IF the sticker is there
release the tensioner with a 1/2 in braker bar or ratchet and work the belt out.
very carefully
Change the belt
Find the tensioner, rotate it clockwise. I don't remember offhand what type of tool the tensioner requires for this vehicle... it'll either be a 3/8" drive ratchet inserted directly into the tensioner, or a socket (15mm is typical of GM).
None, all you have to do is stick a 1/2 ratchet or breaker bar in the tensioner pulley and pull the tension off of the belt enough to change the belt. Two sets of hands make this a fast and easy project.
60,000 miles or x-amount of months which I don't remember how many months.
The 2004 2.0 liter Pontiac Grand Am does not have a timing belt, but instead has a timing chain which requires no maintenance.
