SoCalManche Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hey there guys, Long time, no chat! The MJ was stuck up in the high desert for quite a few months with a bad alternator, and with the issue of having a serpentine belt system in an '86 2.5L, finding an easy replacement is rather difficult seeing as everyone in the world is under the assumption that it was only a V-belt system. Regardless, I was curious about the 2.8L; does anyone happen to know if they also did the same thing with using both V-belt and serpentine belt systems?

Pete M Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 My 86 v6 had v belts. I wanna say they all did on the jeeps. Can't speak for the Chevy cars/trucks that got the 2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Scrolling through the belt selection on Rockauto for an ‘86 2.5L, they show v-belts for non-a/c and serp belts for with a/c, although to add to the confusion they also have v-belts for dealer-installed a/c. They only list v-belts for the 2.8. You may need to move your old alternator pulley onto a new alternator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
