What is the serpentine belt and Tensioner 300se?

The serpentine belt and the tensioner on a 300 SE motor is part of the fan system that controls all of the smaller motors on the front of the engine. The serpentine belt helps turn the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and the fan. The tensioner is a pulley on this belt that helps to keep the belt tight enough to stay on, but not too tight to hinder operation.


How do you release tension on the belt to replace an alternator on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier?

you need a serpentine belt tool, you can get one at auto zone or any part store. the alternator is on a pully system with a belt tensioner. place the tool in the tensioner and pull down, this releases the tension and the belt should come off. besure that you have the proper routing diagram and the correct belt for your engine size and year.

Serpentine belt diagram for a 2001 suzuki xl-7?

There is no need for a serpentine diagram for the 2001 xl7. Since it has two belts the only thing that you will need to remember is that on the power steering belt, the belt goes around the cranck shaft(Outer part of the cranck shaft, the alternator belt is installed prior to the power steering belt), the power steering pump and AC compressor. The flat part of the belt touches the flat part of the tensioners. Everything else is simple, the belt goes around the cranck shaft, fan and alternator.

How do you replace the alternator on a 2000 Ford Expedition?

if the 2000 is anything like the 99, the alternator is on the top in the front. Very easy to find. Pull of the serpentine belt (use the tensioner to help) and then you remove the electrical connections very simply. UUndo the three bolts connecting it, pull it off. Do the reverse to put the new one on...and slap the serpentine belt back on. Very easy process..hardest part was the belt, but you can do it.
