NOISE - ACCESSORY DRIVE "V" BELT SQUEALS
LIGHT TRUCK 1985-87 E SERIES, F SERIES
ISSUE:
Accessory drive "V" belt squeals on F Series and E-250/350 vehicles 8500 lbs. GVW with dual thermactors and a 5.8L 4V engine equipped
with power steering may be caused by the design of the current production belt.
ACTION:
To correct this, two new high profile "V" belts, E6TZ-8620-C and E6TZ- 8620-D, with an increased surface area and improved qualities
less likely to stretch during normal service, are now available. Refer to the Truck Shop Manual for "V" belt installation and adjustment
specifications.
NOTE:
When installing a now "V" belt, a belt tension gauge should be used.
Refer to the following application chart for the proper "V" belt application.
