This looks a lot easier than I was imagining. I'm still new to maintenance of a vehicle. This showed how simple it actually is for me, and now i don't feel like I need to pay some mechanic to do it. Just make sure I have the tools. Thanks!

Just to help everybody out, there is an update kit that has a smaller idler pulley on the tensioner assembly. At a parts store the oe tensioner part#38167 and belt# 25060868. With the updated tensioner it takes a shorter belt#25060863 and tensioner #39120. The difference in the belt lengths isn't much but the parts do go hand in hand with each other. So be sure to check that both parts are updated or both are oe parts.

It runs just fine with the old belt. This is still some bull crap out of Mopar to change the size of the idler pulley.

@@bloodybill It'll run with the old belt because there's a tensioner that will self-adjust, but the tension will be slightly wrong due to using the wrong belt size. I got a "kit" from Rockauto, Gates belt & tensioner, $60.

It's a 13mm wrench required, not 1/2" 1/2" is "almost" 13mm so the error is understandable. But for sure that bolt, like all the others in this engine, is metric. Pro tip, run the engine to operating temp before attempting to break the bolt free. Doing so reduces the chance you'll break the bolt off in the block. The bolt torque is 30 ft-lbs. ie. it doesn't go back in super-tight!!!! Use a torque wrench if you can. I put a small drop of blue threadlock on just to be sure...

I have a 06 liberty, this video was helpful in replacing my tensioner. However mine took a 13mm socket instead of the half inch. Not sure if this changed between years but just for other viewers to help prevent stripping the bolt. Thanks for the video

This is a great video I just didn’t know how to take the tension off of the belt. Also the bolt on my 06 libety is a 13mm not a half inch. They both fit but I rounded the bolt using a half inch. A thirteen is just a smidge tighter

My 2006 Jeep Liberty has gone thru 6 A/C compressors in the last 17 mos, the last one was a new one (according to the dealer) and lasted 12 mos and 2 weeks, so the first 5 lasted a couple weeks to a month or so, went out again a few weeks ago and now it is setting in Walmart's parking lot...it does absolute nothing! The dealer does not want to help either! CarX only wants to put in another compressor.

viewer I think it just wears over time. Mine was making noise. Maybe if you notice it shaking too much?

Mine just started to actually fall apart. The belt fell off the track (likely because the tensioner was junk), immediately lost power steering, overheated and gave me trouble starting.
