The larger serpentine belt controls several functions. On this model Dodge decided to put the tensioner right up against the frame which will take you HOURS to remove parts around to gain access to the tensioner. If you get a small crowbar and apply leverage to the tensioner (from under the engine) and rent (if you return it there is no charge) a kit with a flat wrench from Advanced Auto Parts you can get it in there. Just did this today and everything is working fine. This is a two person job.
