Check the fan and alternator belt for
insufficient tension, wear, and damage.
Insufficient belt tension may cause battery
charge failure, engine overheating, or abnormal
belt wear. If too much tension is applied to
the belt, the bearings or belt may be damaged
prematurely.
Apply a force of 98 N {22 lb} to the center of
belt between pulleys, and measure the belt
deflection. The table below shows normal
condition.

-New belts get complete initial elongation after being run about two hours.
-When you replace V-belts which are two in on set, make sure to replace both of them.
