Drive Belt System
The 4.6L (2V) OHC engine is equipped with a
serpentine drive belt (8620) to ensure maximum life.
When replacing the drive belt, it should be of the same
type as originally installed.
•
Engines are equipped with an automatic drive belt
tensioner (68209) that will not require any drive belt
tension adjustment for the life of the drive belt.
•
A loose drive belt will result in slippage which may
cause a noise complaint or improper accessory
operation.
