Serpentine belt and tensioner replacement 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager 3.3 liter V6 engine

Verify that you have a good/correct belt then check your belt routing and alignment. Then check pulleys for faulty bearings. A free spin with the belt removed should be enough. Whats really common on those is the belt tensioner goes out

http://www.2carpros.com/diagrams/plymouth/voyager/1991 Here are the diagrams.

For the 1997 3.0 liter Grand Voyager:

Remove A/C belt. Release tension on serpentine belt by moving the tensioner, then remove the belt. Be sure to note how the belt is routed.

From way back underneath the car look up along the exhaust pipe leading to the rear manifold, you can just see the bolt on the back of the tensioner to the right of the rightmost spark plug boot (looking forward from under the engine). Route a socket (15 mm I think) on a short extension up along the exhaust pipe and shield (make sure it's cold!), you can just get it onto the bolt. Then snake a socket up and connect to the extension, no universal joints needed. There's just enough room to get enough leverage on the bolt to remove it. From then on it's simple.

I replaced my tensioner a few hours ago as above.

What engine?

On the 3.3 / 3.8 liter engine the tensioner is the one between the alternator and the power steering pump. The 3.0 will have a tensisoner for the serpentine belt in the same location and will also have one for the A/C v-belt.

If this helps, please post feedback. Thanks

look at the pic under the hood or in a book. for the route the belt travels.. if the tensioner has good spring in it and has good travel. Its ok...take the belt to a auto parts store. And have them look up the right belt and compare the 2 belts for the one might have streached.hope i helped you .

first thing you need to do is get a new belt that belt dressing just destroyed that belt that stuff is no good then get a new belt tensioner clean all the pullys with some brake clean then install the belt tensioner and belt if its still sqealing there maybe a pully making the noise to check that when you have the belt off spin them by hand and listen to them and feel for any play in the bearings
