I just replaced the belt on a 2000 4.2 L V6 with 8 pulleys. The serpentine belt diagram had been destroyed so I had to map out each pulley and note if it was smooth or ribbed. I found that it took two people to detension the belt and slip the smooth side under the top idler pulley. The route I found was A/C - P/S - Crank - Fan/waterpump - lower passenger side ribbed pulley - tensioner - alt - loose to a/c. Then detension the belt at the tensioner by outward and upward movement and slip the belt under the upper smooth idler below and between the alt and air/cond. Auto parts store showed the correct belt but needed year, make, model, engine size, engine type [desiel, gas, etc] and number of pulleys to get the right length.

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Rotate the belt tensioner to loosen the belt tension. Remove the belt. Install the new belt making sure that the belt goes over the pulleys in the same manner as the old one. Release the tensioner, and reconnect the battery.
