Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced Gates 38379K Solution Kit: Simplify Your Tasks with Ultimate Efficiency! by Wayne Laguna

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not an easy setup, but doable!

The product does the job and it's not Gates' fault that Dodge designed the car the way they did. On my model van there is no way to get to the tension nut from underneath (it would be a 40 minute job if I could). I had to take out the air jack parts, reposition the wires and hoses and the top motor mount that holds the alternator. Then completely remove the alternator and connector wires (be sure to label them so you know what goes where and so you insert them fully when reinstalling). I also had to remove the electronic ignition module. You will definitely appreciate the multi V-belt tool kit and assistance with installing a new belt. It took about 5 hours total, but it's better than paying a store to fix a design flaw. ALSO MAKE SURE THE DRAIN FROM THE WINDOW TUBE IS FULLY CONNECTED AS THE WATER TO THE STRAP WAS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! If you have an airlift system you will also need to ensure that the connections are airtight once made and that the steam trap, lubricator and pressure switch are back in place.
