This is a factory underhood decal (Ford part number F6TE-8B656-AA) showing the serpentine drive belt installation and routing for 5.0L and 5.8L engines. The bilingual (English/French) label is titled "5.0L & 5.8L Drive Belt Installation / Parcours de la courroie - Moteur 5 L ou 5,8 L." The diagram identifies each pulley in the accessory drive: idler (poulie folle), alternator (ALT.), tensioner (tendeur), air pump or idler (pompe à air ou poulie folle), crankshaft (vilebrequin), fan (ventilateur), A/C compressor or idler (clim. ou poulie folle), and power steering (P/S / DIR.). It traces the belt path around all of these pulleys and includes an illustration of a hand rotating the belt tensioner with a wrench, with a red arrow showing the direction to swing the tensioner to release belt tension during installation. A reader can use this document to correctly route a replacement serpentine belt on a 5.0L or 5.8L engine and to see how to relieve tensioner pressure when installing the belt. The "F6" prefix in the part number indicates a 1996 Ford part, consistent with the 1996 Bronco it is filed under.
