Subject: Belt needs changin IP: Logged
Message: Went to J-Lube recently and they showed me that the 'belt' is very cracked and in need of replacement.
Is this something I can do myself, Or should I pay the $85 they wanted to get for doing it?
I can't seem to find my Hanes manual for the Dakota, so I was hoping to get some tech support from fellow Dak owners.
Thanks
-Kevin

Message: Do it yourself. The belt is about $35.00 and all you do is pull the tensioner over and pull the old belt off. There should be a decal on the front of the radiator with the belt routing. If not draw the belt path out before removing it. I use a breaker bar and socket to pull the tensioner over, but you can use a wrench. Good luck.

Message: Sounds easy enough, I'll order the belt today.
ARe there any picks of the tensioner out there? Something I can use as a reference to make sure I do this right?
Thanks
