How to Remove and Replace the Drive Belt on 3.7L/4.7L Engines on 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?

Before removing the accessory drive belt on 3.7L/4.7L engines, inspect all pulleys and correct the belt's routing to avoid overheating due to incorrect water pump rotation. As you tighten the new belt, put it around all the pulleys except for the idler one and then set the tensioner arm at its stop point. Then, turn the belt around the idler pulley and let the tensioner go inside the belt as you guide it onto all the pulleys. Once installed, look at the belt wear indicator; on 4.7L engines, there should be at least 24 mm (.94 inches) between the tang and the housing stop. Should this measurement be beyond the specified range, you should change the serpentine accessory drive belt.
