Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / July 2005serpentine belt
My wife has a 99 town and country w/3.0. I hear they are known for getting the belt knocked off from puddles and such. She has managed to knock hers off 4 times in the past year 3 puddles and 1 snow drift. Asking her to slow down or go around seems to be out of the question. I replaced the belt and the tensioner seems to be holding the belt tight. My question is, is there anything that will help keep the belt on? Putting it back on is a real PITA. Thanks ytnyt  SignatureThe older I get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. The cure appears very easy to me. The next time it happens, give your wife the toolbag and tell her to put it on. Problem solved. It will never happen again, at least to you. Steve > My wife has a 99 town and country w/3.0.

Then maybe she'll slow down or avoid large puddles and snow banks. <g> Bob A wife is a wife and if you love her you will just have to put up with her or if you don't tell her the next time you will be filing divorce papers. >> My wife has a 99 town and country w/3.0.

The NLHTPU list seems to be the same as her YSHTPU list. We had an Acclaim that needed a shield that was installed and it helped. The idler has a sealed bearing but wants to seize up. > My wife has a 99 town and country w/3.0. I hear they are known for getting > the belt knocked off from puddles and such.

Shouldn't cost more that $40 with hardware.

Sounds like the plan to me, kind of like a really thin skid plate that would deflect the water. |
