Chevrolet Colorado Drive Belt

The Drive Belt employed in Chevrolet Colorado car engines is significant because it interconnects parts to the engine, in this case it interconnects parts like alternator and A/C compressor. Usually, the serpentine belt is used to drive these parts encircling round the crankshaft pulley and connecting to it. This design makes it possible for control of power flow through the system, and thus the accessorial units function well. The Chevrolet Colorado has used various kinds of Drive Belts such as the V-belts and the multi-groove belts each with different benefits. V-belts improve motor and load interaction and provide higher levels of wear resistance as compared to other types of belts which are more flexible and suitable in situations requiring more complex paths of transmission of the drive. There is also need for frequent replacement as Drive Belts are known to have a lifespan of up to 100000miles though they may need replacement if they develop some symptoms such as wearing out or aging by developing some few splits on their surface. It's therefore important to replace a spoilt Drive Belt as soon as possible to avoid complications within the parts and the engine of Chevrolet Colorado.

Each OEM Chevrolet Colorado Drive Belt we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

Q: What is the importance of the serpentine drivebelt and how should it be inspected and replaced on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: A serpentine drivebelt is sited in front of the engine and is very vital to the functioning of the engine as well as its parts by turning the alternator, power steering pump, water pump and the air conditioning compressor. Because of the role that it plays and the material of which it is made, the belt tends to wear out quickly and should therefore be checked regularly. After switching the engine off, open the hood and look at the belt so as to determine if it has cracks, if the plies of the belt are separated or in case it has developed frays or glazing; this should be done on both faces. The ribs on the underside should be of equal depth with out any form of inconsistency on the surface. An internal spring operate tensioner is provided for maintaining the belt tension which is not user adjustable; the tensioner assembly is to be replaced when the mark on the tensioner arm is in line with the indexing mark on the tensioner body. To remove the belt, loosen the tensioner counter clockwise and use the drivebelt tool if required, the belt can then be removed from the tensioner and auxiliary components before releasing the tensioner slowly. Once verify that new belt has the right length direct it over the idler andCtr pulleys while turning the tensioner to enable the new belt to be fixed before the release of it. For tensioner replacement, first remove the belt and then the tensioner mounting bolt, installation is done in a reverse way but make sure that the indexing dowel fits into the correct hole on the mounting surface.
