E series single alt serpentine belt replacement

[BWCbuilt]

any tips/tricks?

Remove the radiator/intercooler/condenser. I tried to cheat one once and took way longer than just getting the stuff out of the way.

 

[BWCbuilt]

thats exactly what I was wondering....

 

[BWCbuilt]

Yeah this is no bueno, the van has an add-on ac unit attached to the front serpentine belt.... so I have to take all of that off to get to the rear belt

Burn it to the ground LOL But as said take everything off the front I work on them all the time and ours have added A/C units and alternators and they suck LOL

we dont have too many 6.0 vans in the fleet, so this is new to me

remove fan and shroud...

I have seen.... some... ****

 

[BWCbuilt]

how did you get just the fan shroud out without taking the rad/cond/cooler out?

 

[DEEZUZ]

lol. take off radiator hoses, unbolt the front part of shroud, pulls right out. back piece of shroud it held on by 4-5 15mm bolts. remove those, zip fan off, DC connector, lift up...

Only time the radiator comes out is if it itself is the problem, or engine swap...
