How do i loosen belt on a 4.8 liter motor
There is a belt tensioner on all 4.8L v-8 engines...basically an arm that is spring loaded to hold the proper tension on the belt at all times without needing re-adjustment...you can buy a cheap tool set (or rent one free) at Auto Zone or most auto parts stores to do this.
