  • The 3.3L & 3.8L engines are driven by single serpentine belt. The belt tension is maintained by an automatic tensioner. The belt operates the alternator, water pump, air conditioner and power steering.
  1. Raise the front of the vehicle and safely support it with jack stands. This is not essential but makes it easier to remove the splash shield in the next step.
  2. Remove the right front splash shield.
  3. Use an open end wrench to rotate the bolt clockwise on the tensioner which releases the tension on the belt. A socket will be too long and the socket wrench will bear against the wheel well preventing adequate rotation. The belt routing diagram is located on the care frame near the front of the hood on the passenger side.
  4. Remove the belt and install a replacement.
  5. Proper belt tension is maintain by dynamic tension
  6. Reinstall the right front splash shield then lower the front of the vehicle.

Note: It is best and saves time to use a serpentine belt tool kit . It costs about $30.00.

    I have a 1996 plymouth voyager. I have had this old engine completely apart and as I have found the text book answer is not always the right one. If you have experienced frozen bolts and old parts like I have you'll prefer this method. The only tools medium work gloves, 15mm socket wrench. The best way to replace and remove the serpentine belt is to remove the idler pulley. Remove the pulley from over top the engine slip the old belt off. Slip the new belt on replace idler pulley with belt in-front. With gloves on pinch both parts belt together slip behind idler pulley. This method works best for the part time mechanic and those who have older cars with stubborn parts.

That is right even same as the 3.0L but i find it easier to grab a 15 mil wrench and pull towards the front of the van to loosen the tensioner to place the surp belt on the alternator

Good luck!

"1996 plymouth voyager timing belt" How do I know

Hi,
get the engine number plus vin number and go to a Chrysler dealership. They can put the info in a computer and give you the correct answer. The SOHC Chrysler 2.4 is a "free-wheeling" engine.

Your drivers handbook should also, (i believe) have that information.

Good luck.
