Resetting the Belt-Drive System

Resetting the Belt-Drive System

When replacing a serpentine belt, the tensioners and other components in the belt-drive system need to be replaced as well.

Many belt-replacement intervals are 100,000 miles or more.

Once this mileage is reached, it requires more than a new belt to make it to the 200,000-mile replacement interval.
