Chevy tracker serpentine belt

My wife had recently seize up the tensioner and idler pulley on her 2000 chevy tracker. I put new pulleys on and a new belt, and every time i start the car the serpentine belt will slid up on to the edge the water pump pulley and stay there. Everytime i adjust it it does the same thing. What do i do> does that mean there is something wrong with the water pump pulley? It doesnt screech or squeal everything is perfectly quiet

Try removing the belt and turning each pulley by hand. If everything is smooth and free, with the belt still off, drive down the block once and see if the noise is there (this will eliminate all rotating accessories on the front). If you hear the noise, then there is a problem deeper inside. Oil pressure is good? Dont' forget when doing this, you will have no power steering, so be careful.

SOURCE: serpentine belt slips off idler pulley

The A/C pully is supposed to spin freely until the AC is activated to run.. The cranshaft pully does not. Replace the tensioner pully. The belt has to fit in between the grooves on the pullys.

SOURCE: siezed idler pulley

tension chk aways between ALT and CP (harmonic balancer) and yes the idler (tensioner) is below the AC compressor. Recommend you replace it if seized.

Tension pulley seized
If your tension pulley is seized you can do one of 2 things, replace the idler wheel on the tensioner or the whole tensioner assembly as a complete unit, sometimes sand and dirt bind up the tensioner inside and if not taken care of will ruin the bearings on other devices using the serpentine belt. If your belt is running over a frozen pulley, you need a new belt also. Check all your other accessories for damage while the belt is off.

Locate the idler pulley to the left of the crankshaft pulley. The idler pulley bolts to the idler arm. The idler pulley is replaced with the arm because they are sold as one unit.

  • 2 Place a 3/8-inch ratchet driver into the square hole on the face of the idler pulley and pull up on the handle. This releases tension on the Sonoma's serpentine belt. Pull the belt off the idler pulley, lower and remove the ratchet handle.
  • 3 Remove the two bolts that secure the idler arm to the engine block using a socket and ratchet, and discard the old idler arm.
  • 4 Place the new idler arm against the engine block and secure it using the socket and ratchet.
  • 5 Put the ratchet driver into the square hole on the new idler pulley, pull up on the handle and place the serpentine belt over the pulley.
  • 6 Lower and remove the ratchet handle.

    Changing serpentine belt on 2000 chevy silverado 1500 4.8 v8
    The belt has tension applied to it from an idler pulley arm. you need to release tension by using a socket and ratchet on the nut on the idler pulley. Release tesion and slide belt off . Make sure you have the diagram for serpentine belt. it is usualy under the hood. If not make a diagram yorself before removing belt.

    I need a serpentine drive belt routing diagram for a 1999 chevy K2500 4x4 pickup with a 350 engine
    Serpentine belts are easy to change. The key is knowing where the 1/2" square drive tensioner is and to remove tension to the belt at this point.

    If you remove the belt, it's easy to put the new one on because the pulleys are designed with grooves for the groove side of the belt, and smooth pulleys for the smooth back of the belt to ride on the pulleys.

    Just go over, under, over, under until the belt is threaded on, except for the last idler pulley which is smooth.

    Use the 1/2" breaker bar to turn the pulley until one can slip the belt onto the last 'idler' pulley and you're done.

    Unable to get to the serpentine belt on my 04 Chevy Tracker
    First be cretin that the belt's are an exact match, sometimes it's a really tight fit, hope you are using a tensioner tool that allows full travel of the tensioner. Often times it is which pulley you are trying to slide the belt over, your best bet is to go for the idler & tensioner pulley because they are not ribbed, thus you don't have to fight with it go over an edge that has a guide.

    Replacing a serpentine belt
    Don't have a chart, video, or diagram available at the moment. Can offer you generic advice.

    1.Somewhere in the middle of that serpentine belt, that is wrapped around all those pulleys, is an Idler tensioner Pulley. All this pulley does, is put tension on that serpentine belt. Usually located somewhere in the middle.

    The Idler tensioner Pulley will be on a bracket. It will be on the end of the bracket. The bracket usually has a 1/2 inch square hole in it. This is used for a tool, that resembles a 1/2 inch breaker bar.
    -> I, use a 1/2 inch breaker bar.
    The 1/2 inch breaker bar is inserted into this square hole, and the bracket is pulled to one side.
    This pulls the tensioner pulley away from the serpentine belt, allowing the belt to have slack, and then the belt is slipped off of one of those pulleys. Release the pressure slowly, remove the tool. Then the serpentine belt is removed all the way.

    (The Idler tensioner pulley bracket, can only be moved in one direction, to take pressure off of the serpentine belt. The direction opposite, of it putting pressure on the serpentine belt.

    The spring used to put pressure is Very strong. This is also an area, where you can easily slip, cutting your knuckles, or fingers, or hand, on sharp objects. Use caution, you may want to wear a glove, or gloves!)

    Then the new serpentine belt is wound around the pulleys in the correct pattern, the Idler Tensioner Pulley is once again pulled to the side, and the last of the serpentine belt is slid into place. Then you slowly release the tensioner pulley, and it puts pressure on the serpentine belt once more.

    Make sure the serpentine belt is in the grooves of the pulleys, and is wound around in the correct pattern.

    On the car hood inside, or on the radiator support, or perhaps on the inner fender well, or in the Owners Manual, it should show the correct pattern for installing the serpentine belt.

    How do you relace an alternator belt on 1998 chevy tracker?
    A year is not a good sign. The belt should not have come off in that span of time. I would make sure you do not have a worn out idler or tensioner pulley bearing before installing your new belt or reinstalling the original if it is not worn or damaged.

    You will find one or two small pulleys involved with drive belt. One of the smaller pulleys will be an "idler" pulley and simply redirects the belt to a different accessory. The other small pulley is considered a "tensioner" pulley, it is spring loaded and keeps the correct tension on the accessory belt.
    The tensioner pulley will have a "squared" hole in the bracket or a bolt through the center of the pulley. In either case you will use a wrench to pry the tensioner pulley arm in the direction that loosens the belt. Once tension is relieved, pull the belt off a pulley and remove the belt. You will reverse the process to install the new belt.
    Good luck and let me know.

    Loosen the hold-down fastener for the idler or generator pulley.

    Install the new belt over each of the drive pulleys. Often the manufacturer recommends a sequence for feeding the belt around the pulleys.

    Install the belt squarely in the grooves of each pulley.

    0900823d8004ed75.jpg


    Before adjusting belt tension, check for proper pulley alignment. This is especially critical with serpentine belts. Measure the belt deflection in its longest span. If a belt tension gauge is available, use it and compare the tension to specifications.
    If a belt is too tight, wear to bearings for the water pump, alternator, and engine crankshaft can result.
    Some late-model Chrysler engines require a torque reading to be taken when tension is applied to the generator drive belt. This is especially important on the longer, multiribbed V-belts.

    0900823d8004ed76.jpg


    Pry the idler or generator pulley to adjust the belt to specifications.

    0900823d8004ed77.jpg


    Tighten the idler or generator pulley fastener.

    0900823d8004ed78.jpg


    Start the engine and check the belt for proper operation.

    Any more questions please ask. Good luck.
