Check all cooling system hoses and connections for defects or deterioration of hoses and loose clamps or
fittings.
The belt tension can be checked by depressing the fan belt at a point midway between the alternator and
fan pulleys as illustrated. It should be possible to press down the belt about 1/4" - 3/8" (5-10 mm). This
also applies to other drive belts on the engine.
If drive belts are replaced, recheck belt tension after driving 600 - 1,200 miles (1,000 - 2,000 km).
