Has anyone came up with a solution for the vibrating serpentine belt on the 99's? Has there been a second idler bracket and pulley made for these? Rob, 99 purple/red. |

The alternator with a one way clutch used on the 2000 and later cars helps. |

The Idler bracket and pulley are the same as used on the Chrysler 300m - and other Chrysler 3.5 motors .. as for the Alternator clutch that might be where the noise is coming from ??? I had that problem and the Clutch replace was the fix ... |

Mine has the regular solid pulley on the alternator. Not familiar with the clutch style, saw pics of it, maybe more to go wrong? |

Chrysler solved this problem by replace standard alternator with decoupling unit. Black snoot on front of pulley is decoupled/override mechanism. Direct bolt on replacement. No modifications needed. Used on many Chrysler 3.5L engines. Pick alternator up at a junk yard if need be. Also, be sure to re-check belt for correct tension. Critical. |
