Drive Belt System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The 4.6L (2V) engine is equipped with a serpentine drive belt. To make sure of maximum life, install a new drive belt with the same type as originally installed.

The accessories mounted on the front of the engine are belt-driven by the crankshaft pulley.
