This thread is for stupid things the previous owner did, feel free to add yours.
A couple years ago I bought an extra serpentine belt, it lived in the back of the Jeep as a spare for a couple years until I decided it was time to change it. It was too long, pissed off I threw it away. Fast forward a couple months later to today. I went to Napa and got another belt, guess what...it's too long.
I called Napa and the only thing they offered was to return it, great. I start with google and run across a thread here on WF. Water Dog posted this pic of the belt diagram in this thread http://www.wranglerforum.com/f210/humbled-by-my-stupidity-again-814969.html
Thanks Water Dog for that post.
I've had this Jeep for 3 or 4 years and it's been fine, I had no reason to think it had the wrong belt routed the wrong way
The previous owner got a belt too short and routed it like this
Somehow, I haven't had an issue other than it would squeal above 3,000 rpm. This is only 1 of the stupid things I've fixed but I'll leave the original post with only this offering.
