How do install belts to a 97 deville?
Cadillacs and the northstar engine are notorious for squeaky belts. if i were you i would not do it yourself. take it to a dealer mechanic.
The 2000 General Motors/Cadillac Deville came equipped in the 4.6L Northstar engine. Removing the main belt will require depressing the tensioner to free it. The new belt can then be routed across the accessory drive pulleys. The OE AC Delco belts for this application are 6K815 and 3K243.
well really you cant change it the people that made them only change them like one or twice a year
The water pump is on the front of the engine, just under the top radiator hose. After removing the top hose and drive belts, the pump should be accessible to be unbolted and exchanged.
Go to the parts store and get the belts then loosten the alternator, power steering pump and a/c compressor and remove the belts measuring them as they come off to see which belt goes where.
AC, alternator, power steering, and timing belts.
cut the belt and plug the holes in the block else it will smell like you are on fire. You can remove it, and route the belt or belts to run the other accesories. Or you can get the whole pulley system from a 1970 cadillac and it totally bypassis the smog pump and the put caps in the holes in the heads
Yes, if you drive with the power steering empty of fluid and the motor locks up, it can actually rip the belt from the motor. You can damage belts and the steering motor if you drive with the power steering empty.
The ac, power steering and alternator will have separate tensioners (the units slide on a bracket to tighten) if they have separate belts. Loosen the units and the belts will come off. If a serpentine belt is used there only one tensioner.
Not a serpentine on mine. Mine is the 2.0L and it has 2 multi-groove belts. One for aircon/power steering other for alternator. Not a serpentine on mine. Mine is the 2.0L and it has 2 multi-groove belts. One for aircon/power steering other for alternator.
