This document is a factory under-hood decal (schematic label) showing the serpentine drive belt routing for Ford 5.0L and 5.8L V8 engines, titled "5.0L & 5.8L DRIVE BELT INSTALLATION" with the French equivalent "PARCOURS DE LA COURROIE – MOTEUR 5, L OU 5,8 L." The bilingual (English/French) diagram identifies each pulley in the accessory drive system: alternator (ALT.), idler pulley (POULIE FOLLE), belt tensioner (TENSIONER / TENDEUR), air pump (POMPE À AIR), fan (VENTILATEUR), crankshaft (VILE-BREQUIN), A/C compressor or idler (A/C OR IDLER / CLIM. OU POULIE FOLLE), and power steering (P/S / DIR.). Solid lines trace the correct belt path around all pulleys, and an illustration shows a hand using a wrench on the tensioner hex with a dashed line indicating how to rotate the tensioner to relieve belt tension during installation or removal. The Ford part number F3TA-8B656-BA is printed vertically on the right edge of the label. A reader can learn the correct serpentine belt routing for these engines, which components the belt drives, and how to release the automatic tensioner to install a new belt.
