My son power washed the label with proper routing for this vehicle. The Chilton diagram does not match the correct one for this vehicle. How can I get the proper routing for this vehicle. This vehicle has 75,000 miles on it and changed the water pump. Just need to see a correct diagram for this vehicle. It is a Laredo 4.0L highoutput engine. the vin# is 1J4F58S8ML547848

just match the inside grooves with the grooves and the flat side with the flat outside pullies. if you can not figure it out, get someone that knows how to do it. the tension for the belt is adjusted with the altenator.

Suggested Repair

Route the belt so the grooved inside face contacts grooved pulleys and the flat side contacts flat pulleys. Adjust belt tension with the alternator. If the routing is still unclear, have someone familiar with the job install it.
