I replaced the serpentine belt on my 98 2400 SCR last fall. Since they
no longer make the belt, I had to buy a conversion kit which required replacing a pulley to accomodate the new belt (Sierra 18-15116). My question is how do you know how far to put the pulley on? I was told to put it on flush with the stem, but am having problems of the belt misaligning. |

But the pulley in question has to align with the other ones. |

My question is how far onto the shaft should the pulley be to get them
to align? It seems there has got to be a more solid way other than eye balling it. Since there are 5 pulleys, eye-balling alignment isn't easy. basskisser wrote: Mike C wrote: I replaced the serpentine belt on my 98 2400 SCR last fall.

I would put the belt on, and then adjust the pulley until the belt is centered thereon. -- ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** John |

But the pulley in question has to align with the other ones. The belt and the pulley should be grooved (4 or 5 grooves) and self align. With the belt in place it should be obvious if the pulley in question is not in alignment with the rest and to which direction it needs to go to be in alignment. |

Hold a straight edge against a pulley and parallel to the belt. You will be
able to measure any runout from 1 pulley to the next. Measure power steering to alternator. Jim. " JimH" not telling you @ pffftt.com wrote in message . .. "Mike C" wrote in message ps.com...
