Subject: PowerLoss After Belt Swap
IP: Logged

Message:
Have a '98, 3.9 Dakota. Recently had the A/C clutch/bearing go out, didn't have the money to replace it right away so I just bypassed it by putting on a shorter belt. Now I'm noticing hesitation/lag/poor performance and loss of power, especially accelerating? Any Ideas on why?

I would think that something else is going on. I do not see how a belt could effect it unless it was too tight, but these are self adjusting. Are you throwing any codes?

Finally... a V8. '01 Dodge Dakota RC, 4.7, 5-speed, 3.92 LSD. = R/T Killer.
well at least a stock one

I bet you got the belt going the wrong way on at least one pulley.
