This helped me! Literally yesterday I was replacing my alternator with a new new and belt tensioner and I didn’t know how I would take it off! Going back today to finish thanks!
Your very welcome. Make sure to subscribe to the channel because that dodge ram is my mobile mechanic vehicle so you will see alot of videos on that truck which inturn can help you
Thanks for this video! It's exactly what I need to replace the belt tensioner in my 1998 Dodge Ram !500 5.2L Glad I found your channel. Always nice when a Semper Fi can help the Navy Corpsman.😀
Some people would wonder why you would do such a simple repair. because if you do not have any basic skills you need to build on simple things first. I have taught a few people that did not know how to work a screw driver how to do complete brake jobs and have gone on to do bigger repairs. confidence helps build your skill set. Keep it up Tomas !! good job
You are right. I want people to be able to watch my channel and follow along and repair their own vehicles and save money, build confidence and overtime hone in and sharpen their skills
Glad to see ya smiling again! Hopefully you’ll stick with being a mobile mechanic. But who knows where life will take you. As long as you have a channel I’m subscribed brother!
Thanks for the step by step brother! Aside from changing oil and tires, I've never done anything like this. Did it in just under an hour (needed a 2nd pair of hands for the belt). Other than that, shit was simple. Earned a sub for the simplicity and personality. TYFYS btw o7 🇺🇸
So that's where that nut is. Thanks! '02 van with 5.9. I replaced the idler pulley yesterday day and that fixed the intermittent squeal but I bought the tensioner assembly also instead of just the idler pulley so I'll replace that in the morning.
@@semperfimechanic the squeal is gone. I drove 100 miles on I-40 through through the high hills of Arizona today and she runs like new... practically. I WD'd the bolt today and see if I can get that nut off the tensioner.
Yes it is man just depends on what vehicle and what setup the cars got but basically it's all the same job and that is to keep the belt under tension while on the pulleys
It's not real important, but if you have a buddy with a welder, it would be good to get that bracket welded back together. I would tack weld it while still installed if you can get to it, to hold the correct position, then remove it and weld it up. It will probably be fine as it is, and I wouldn't go to a weld shop (they will want a bunch of money), but if you know someone or happen to work for customer that has a welder at home, I'd knock it out. The negative on leaving it broken will be extra vibration felt by the coil than if it was properly supported, and don't want to add stress to the coil.
@@semperfimechanic - If you know anyone that welds, maybe you could barter (you could do an oil change in exchange for them welding your bracket)? Or, you could save up and get a cheapo flux core welder from Harbor Freight. I got one and didn't take too much practice to make two pieces of metal stick together. I think I had $200 in it total and found I use it a lot more than I ever thought I would. My welds aren't pretty but that is what a grinder if for after the weld! Ha. Great video by the way...so good to see you under the hood again! Can't wait to see more videos on this new truck. Cheers!
@@dewrus2153 Agree Dewrus, because he doesn't need that coil getting loose and flopping all over. Probably never happen, but I know I would fix the bracket.
You have to use a tap and die set. Google how to use a tap and die set for broken bolt. Now if you can get a pair of pliers on it you can back it out. Use a torch to heat it up

I’ve heard that being called a bunch of things, belt tensioner, accessory belt, serpentine belt, pulley belt, etc.
Yes it is man just depends on what vehicle and what setup the cars got but basically it's all the same job and that is to keep the belt under tension while on the pulleys

Agree with you Bruce! A quick weld and he's back in business without worry of it failing later.
Yea that is a good what would it cost me
What's the price to fix it

Don’t have to remove bracket bolts just remove the two Phillips screws holding the ingnition coil.
My bolt broke how do I get it out I have a 1994 the original won just fell right off 😂😂 how do I get it out
You have to use a tap and die set. Google how to use a tap and die set for broken bolt. Now if you can get a pair of pliers on it you can back it out. Use a torch to heat it up
Nine sixteen millimeter?!😆
