Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video I'm going to show you have to remove and put back on a new serpentine belt on this 2003 F-250 Super Duty. This truck has the 5.4 liter. The procedure is basically the same for the 5.4 as well as the 6.8 liter. The only tool you'll need is a ½ inch ratchet and you will also want a piece of pipe or a breaker bar for some extra leverage and a stool. In the video you will hear something squeaking every once in a while, that's my stool slipping so just be careful as you're leaning over the engine bay.
Very important, find your belt routing diagram. On this truck, it's on the driver's side, right near the radiator. It looks like this. This is a very important piece of information. This helps you get the belt routed correctly. It can be somewhat confusing if you don't have a diagram. If this has been painted over or missing, I would actually draw a diagram just by hand just so you have it. It helps. Here is your tensioner right here. Take a 1/2 in ratchet and insert it there. Now force your ratchet clockwise to loosen the belt and take it off the alternator. Push down on the ratchet, grab the belt and we slowly let your tension back. Take the belt off. It does down around your compressor here.
Take your new belt from 1AAuto and you want to make a nice tight loop and you're going to stuff it down in between where your tensioner and idler are. You are going to reach underneath, grab that loop and pull it through. I know you can't really see this, but I'm just pulling it through and putting it around my A/C compressor pulley. Keep a loop down and around the crank shaft. Go back here around the crank shaft. I come up and move the alternator forward right now and put it down and around your power steering pulley way over here. What you do is put a little loop between your idler pulley and tensioner. Get that down around the A/C. Then put your loop around the crank shaft, then pull the loop up and then around the power steering pulley and then you're on everything except the alternator.
Closer up, you can see the belt is way down around the A/C compressor, around the tensioner there and around the water pump and then down around the power steering pump over here. I can pull it up some. You can see I've gotten my ratchet in there. Take a piece of pipe to give me extra leverage to make this job really easy. Before I pull on that, I'm going to pull my belt up. You want to just make sure to feel down around the A/C pulley and the crank pulley and the power steering pulley. Everything feels like it's on there correctly. Bring my ratchet up. Use the pipe, take the tension off, put the belt on and then slowly . I don't like the way it's looking on my tensioner here so I'll pull it up a little bit. Slowly release that. Take the pipe off and take the ratchet off.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall a new serpentine belt on this 1996 Ford F-150. This truck has the 5-liter V8, so this procedure is basically the same as any '92 to '96 Ford F-150, F-250 or F-350 with the 5-liter as well as the 5.7-liter V8 or 5.8-liter V8.The only tool you will need is a 15mm socket with a ratchet or a large 15mm wrench will do as well.
This truck has the 5-liter V8 engine in it. Obviously, your serpentine belt's right here. The first thing you want to do though is you want to make sure that your belt diagram right here is in tact. That's going to be a big help when you're putting the belt back on. It actually kind of gives you a little diagram of how to do it. You'll need a 15mm socket on a ratchet. You take the socket and ratchet, put it right down here. Put it right down on here on your tensioner bolt. Then you pull this counterclockwise and you can see that the belt loosens up when I do that. So, I pull the wrench that way. Then, you just slip it right off of this tensioner or this idler pulley here and then slowly let your wrench back. You take it off. Then, just pull the belt off. Pull it right up. You have to reach down and pull it off the crank pulley and the belt come right up and out.
To put the belt back on, what you're going to do is take a loop and feed it down and get it on this crankshaft pulley first. Then, up around this air pump and you're going to kind of flop it over down here to the power steering pump, up to the AC and across. We'll put it on the alternator and keep it off the idler pulley first. Okay, here's a new belt from 1A Auto. So, we'll put it down and reach down on the other side of the motor and pull a loop down onto the crankshaft pulley. Pull some of the slack out. Take a loop and go down to the power steering pulley way over here on the other side. Bring it up to the AC pulley. Bring this up and it comes down, it goes down around, and it comes right up from the crankshaft pulley to the air pulley. Then, it goes around the tensioner and around the alternator. This belt's a little bit tighter. So, what I'm going to do is put around the alternator first. Next thing you're going to do is put the socket, I've got the belt around the socket here. Take some tension off with this wrench. First, I'll get it right on the tensioner pulley. Okay, so now it's actually on the tensioner pulley. So, it's on everything correctly. It's on the AC, it's on the power steering, here on the water pump way down underneath the crank and everything. Now, I can pull the tensioner back and take it and push it underneath this idler pulley and let the tensioner off and it's all set.
