Your right it is better when you do it yourself. I love doing oil changes cause there easy to do and I can't mess it up. Changing other things, i need help lol. Ask people here. There willing to help. I'm not gonna offer cause idk what the hell I would be doing haha. I'm so dumb when it comes to fixing engine and parts. Oil changes and replacing lights and intake I'm fine but anything else, no way. Haven't been taught so I just don't understand

 

Serpentine belt shouldn't be bad to do at all. Just follow the routing on the sticker under the hood. You should be able to put a wrench or socket on the tensioner and relieve the tension on the belt to let you remove the old one and put the new one on.

 

takes minutes

 

I have the week off so if you wanna do plugs lmk

 

It's straight forward when you read writeups and take your time. Like installing a lift is quite possibly the easiest thing I've ever done. Just time consuming.

 

I know lol. I forgot how to tension the belt, that's all

 

I'm only free Sunday to do them.

 

Problem with how to's for a beginner is what if something breaks or doesnt work they dont know what to do

3/8 ratchet on tensioner thats how fords are.

 

How tight should the belt be tho?

 

tensions itself

The tensioner is spring loaded, so when you weave the belt and release the tension, you put the belt over the tensioner pulley and let go of the tensioner. It will do the rest, plus it's also self-adjusting when the new belt stretches.

 

Totally, in my case it's time that can be an issue. Saturday used to be my day to fix the car or screw around with it..now it's drive my father in law around and work on the house.

 

Did not know that! That's awesome

 

I still can't get over how much I make at the new job! Mod list mod list mod list mod list!!!!

 

Snorkle snorkle snorkle snorkle

 

Yes yes yes yes!!!! After I get my true trac and 4.56's

 

dave, you fix your axle?

 

I think you need more led lights haha

 

I'm getting 2 monopods for rock lights and a 22" XT for my roof or grille. Then I'm relocating the 4" XTs to my rear cargo area for hidden reverse lights
