The diagram shows the alternator, idler pulley, tensioner, air pump, fan, crankshaft, A/C compressor (or idler if no A/C), and power steering pump.

What is the Ford part number of this belt routing decal?

F3TA-8B608-BA appears vertically along the right edge of the label.

This is a photograph of the factory drive belt (serpentine belt) routing decal affixed to the radiator support/core support area of a Ford truck engine bay. The bilingual (English/French) label is titled '5.0L & 5.8L Drive Belt Installation / Parcours de la Courroie - Moteur 5,0 L ou 5,8 L' and applies to the 5.0L and 5.8L V8 engines. The diagram shows the serpentine belt path around eight labeled pulleys: alternator (ALT.), idler pulley (Poulie Folle), belt tensioner (Tendeur), air pump (Pompe à Air), fan (Ventilateur), crankshaft (Vilebrequin), A/C compressor or idler (Clim. ou Poulie Folle), and power steering (P/S / Dir.). Instructions at the top (partially obscured) direct the installer to use the idler pulley bolt / tensioner to relieve tension, rotating counterclockwise ('dans le sens inverse d'horloge'), with a red arrow and hand-tool illustration indicating where to apply the wrench. A Ford part number, F3TA-8B608-BA, runs vertically along the right edge of the label. A reader can learn the correct belt routing for a 5.0L or 5.8L engine and how to release the tensioner to install or replace the belt.
