Outstanding presentation. I'm an old dealer mechanic from the 60,s and these new machines are a brain bogle for me. 80 yrs old. Thank you young man. Thumbs up subbed and downloaded.

Thanks so much for the tip about inserting the belt on the left side of the fan. Yours is the only video that includes that vital information. That's the only way to route the belt around the water pump correctly. I wish I had known that when first attempting to replace the belt; it would have saved me a lot of time spent trying to figure it out.

[@liveeasylive316]

Wow! So glad I watched this! I almost took off my whole fan just to put the belt on!!!!

[@JoseAlvarez-fn7jn]

Thanks a lot it was very ingeniuty your tip about inserting the belt on the left side of the fan. Clear practical. That's an appropiated way to route the belt around the water pump pulley correctly.

[@RedWolf50]

Thanks for this! I completely missed the socket wrench hole. You saved me a lot of trouble.

[@jefrey5578]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow video! I borrowed from oreilly the breaker bar tool but found it to be useless when putting the new belt on and instead used a ratchet and had no issue at all. I was worried a bit about getting the new one around the crankshaft properly but was able to come at it from below to make sure it was in the grooves properly. Also with the belt off I took some carb cleaner and a nylon brush to clean all the grooved pulleys and used some steel wool to clean the smooth parts. First time since I have owned the truck that it doesnt squeal a bit. I did use the continental version of the gatorback instead of oem.

Ty for this vid. Was trying to put belt on for an hr....forgot about the square 🤦‍♂️

[@ooXGhOsTXoo]

As easy as changing a serpentine belt is, I still used another one of your videos as a reference to maintain my blazer, thanks again! My next task is changing the speed sensor on the front right wheel, I haven't found a good video for this yet, and have never done one, should be fun :)

[@everydayguy1983]

Very VERY helpful video thank you very much! You definitely save me a fortune I spent probably 30 bucks on this belt. And I'm sure a unnecessary High mechanic bill.

[@westernspud504]

Hey Mark thanks so much for the video had to change the belt on my S10 today in the pouring rain , your video helped the sticker rubbed off years ago !

[@westernspud504]

fyi i am a Jenks ,

[@nicholasmatlak4342]

Good call on putting belt in on the left side!!!! I was about to take the fan off!!!

[@goteem9118]

Just did mines took me bout 10m, thanks to this video

[@MiguelNeto365]

Fantastic guy ! I needed a lot of it ! Thank you! Congratulations of love with Vortec in Brazil.

[@karenjernigan2645]

I have a chevy s10, watched learned did, had to take off hose and air intake. But was easy thanks!!

[@mskelly5761]

My truck made scraping/squealing noise while driving home, then lost power steering intermittently, discovered belt snapped into 2 separate pieces. Checked all pulleys for movement with no belt, crank shaft & alternater don't move, do they need to be under tension to move? Power steering fluid looks low, would this be the cause of my problem? Thanks for video & help in advance!

[@dennissecor8092]

Excellent video, great job thank you!

[@allenmckinney9533]

It would be a big help to get rid of that pos fan and put a electric fan on it. I'm using a factory dual fan off a 02 concord on my 00 s10 4.3 and it has been the best thing I've done to it.

[@johnny2024]

I don't want to say it but if feels like mine shrunk and I can't get the old one up after replacing alternator, I even loosened the alternator bolts to get that extra 16th. Thinking about buying one tomorrow

[@boogiedapug4777]

After loosening the tensioner I still can’t seem to get enough slack to slip the belt under the idler pulley - do you have any suggestions?

[@a6five]

You might need a stick to get the belt around the bottom wheel. Making sure the grooves are settled into the track will give you just enough room to slip the belt under the small pulley that is in the top middle position.

[@JamesLucas73]

Thanks for the video, helped a lot!

[@Alan_311]

This is for a 4wd with air conditioner 2000 chevy blazer, correct?

[@nogripes]

Yes it is, sorry i should have stated that.

[@ctg8563]

Ive noticed my tensioner pulley kind of jiggles when the engine is on. Does that mean I need a new tensioner pulley? I checked the bolt its on there tight.

[@pamelaharding3184]

Excellent,, very helpful thank you!!!!

[@steveandrews8301]

So, from your video, it appears one does not need to first slip the belt over the front of the fan, right? I did so, and I'm having problems figuring it out, - maybe that is my mistake? I have a 1999 Chevy Express 1500 van with AC. Wait, do you have an electric fan on yours? Maybe this is why you do not have to route it over the fan blades, first..

[@mymusic3354]

Hmmm it's hard to see which direction you turned to release the belt tension in this video....

[@israelsantee2046]

2002 Chevy blazer cerpintine belt are timing belt?Same?

[@darwindropmazda]

[@tbonepumper5623]

[@ronaldcarson4360]

It has a chain for timing.

[@davidcrowder1202]

my belt squeaks it doesn't get louder when i give it gas and it goes away for a couple seconds when i spray water on the non ribbed side what could cause this? the idler pulley doesn't wiggle when i try to make it so idk what it is water pump?

[@MrTrailerman2]

bad belt , replace with a good quality belt.

[@MythicDreamZ]

+david crowder if there are no cracks and the belt still looks good you can hold a bar of soap on it until it lubricates the belt.

[@jimwilliams3424]

Super help

[@charmainehamilton4381]

what if the belt is loose after you put it on? Can someone please answer this for me please

[@ronaldcarson4360]

You don't have it on right or wrong size belt?

[@Chepoherperez]

[@miguelhermoso9825]

[@xxfarleyjdxx]

[@jcosa6707]
