Tech Byte: Unboxing the Front Engine Accessory Drive

In this video, we go under the lid of a Cloyes Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) kit. Understanding the primary wear components—the serpentine belt, tensioner, and idler pulleys—is key to preventing unexpected breakdowns.

Inside a typical Cloyes kit, you’ll find:

🔹 Serpentine Belt – The powerhouse of the system.

🔹 Belt Tensioner – To maintain the perfect amount of grip.

🔹 Idler Pulleys – with quality bearings that last!

We package these primary wear components together so you can service the entire system at once—complete with a handy diagram for a headache-free installation! 🛠️
