How to replace a Serpentine belt

[headviking]

My buddy has a 2001 7.3 and we are planning to replace the serpentine belt. He has the dual alternator. Anyone have a step by step. I just finished mine on 6.0. Need the routing and any tips that anyone has gained.

No trick to it really. Just use a 1/2" breaker bar on the tensioner pulley to take the stress off, and remove the belt.

There should be a diagram on the sticker under the hood of how it is routed. There should be two pics, one with single alt, and one with dual alt. routing.

The 7.3 is a walk in the park compared to the 6.0.

All done.. Real fast. Done before I could finish by beer. 5 min tops.
Thanks
