So, back to the knowledge pool. You guys have been the greatest source for knowledge since I bought my first thirdgen 8 years ago. So I'm done putting in my P1SC and need to know 1 more bit before I turn the key. No thanks to ATI's instructions but I need to see a diagram or photo of the belt routing! I think I have it but I'm not going to test my routing by turning the key. Any help appreciated as always.

PS. For all you NewEngland guys, hope to see a few of you at a street light or two.

 

Simple rule of thumb: All three idlers contact the smooth side of the belt, not the ribbed side.

Willie, as always man, you come through with the knowledge. I've done that but it really doesn't look like it's going to fit, A pic needed?

 

Oooo, I just noticed you have a 1LE. Does that mean you have a single fan???? This changes things...

I wish I had a pic, but it's kind of hard to see the belt routing because of the restricted space between it and the radiator/fans.

Willie

 

Yeah, I "had" a single fan 1LE. I used your fan electric articles, bought both Hayden fan controllers and bought a dual electric fan setup from Ebay. SO, now I'll have a dual fan setup. I was just looking at my idler pulleys and with putting the belt's ribs on the crank pulley and blower pulley it looks like there's no chance it will have it's smooth service contacting all idler pulleys. A simple graphic showing the 5 pulleys, and a line showing belt wrap would help. It could be done in photoshop,illustrator, or microsoft draw...Thanks for looking.

 

Hope this helps.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks man. I have it right, I'm going to try taking all the bracket to blower mounts bols out but 1, mount the belt then rotate the blower back to fasten the blower mount bolts. I'll probably get it to fit then. Looks like I might make it to a NewEngland gathering yet!
