Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting captin andy New User Oct 16, 2006, 6:39 AM Post #1 of 5 (2791 views) ford aerostar serpentine belt Sign In I have a 1990 ford aerostar 4.0L. with AC. I just replaced the alternator but I am unable to replace the serpentine belt. I have tried a new belt and the old one. I know that the routing is correct but even with the adjuster pully loosened and pushed forward to it's fullest extent the belt is about 1" short of going under the adjuster pully. Any suggestions? Thanks. DanD Veteran / Moderator Oct 16, 2006, 7:03 AM Post #2 of 5 (2789 views) Re: ford aerostar serpentine belt Sign In Is the Alternator’s drive pulley the same diameter as the originals? Dan.

It wasn't your exact vehicle but I did have a problem once with a Town car with either six or seven grooves in and around that year????
