Now I have to ask.....why was the engine initially replaced and why was it replaced with an different engine than the one than the one that came with it. Unless the only engine available was a 2.0 and it was free... and the labor was free and the warranty was free etc

I'm not sure.  The friend bought it from a dealer that was family.  I guess it had some problems (used vehicle) and they kept taking it back to the shop.  Finally the dealer decided to replace the engine.  What they replaced it with, I have no idea, but I can tell you it doesn't seem like a Ford 2.7l ecoboost.  When she gets back home from a trip I'll find out more info.  As for now, no longer my problem.

Tell us what engine you're dealing with.

 

This is the 2.7 ecoboost section of the forum, so it can be expected that you're discussing the 2.7L V6

Yeah I'm aware that this is the 2.7 ecoboost section.  As I stated earlier, that's what I believed I was working on.  I was just closing out that the owner of the vehicle didn't tell me that the engine was replaced until after I had busted all my knuckles.  What they replaced it with, I don't know and at this point IDC.

Another look at it, and I agree, the photo is not correct.

 

@jmr061 edit of the photo shows how it should be to match the owners manual.

Photo is correct, but the engine wasn't.  Diff engine.

I hate belt routing but that looks wrong to me.  Isn't the alternator (ALT in the pic) the small pulley.  You have it running to the tensioner and the idler pulley from the alternator.  The diagram doesn't show that.

 

Shouldn't it be like this?

 

You're right for the 2.7l motor, but apparently she doesn't have that motor in the car.  see my earlier post.  Thanks for the help though!

Okay I just want to close this out since I hate when people never come back and tell what had happened.

So this car belongs to a very good friend of mine.  I was doing her a favor and swapping the belt.  I asked what the vehicle was and she said '15 Ford Edge Sport.  I look it up and sure enough 2.7l motor.  I pick up the car and it's a sport, says so on the back.  Order the belt for it.  I spend a few hours thinking I'm insane.  I've done a few serp belts and most times they're literally a five min job.  This one was longer since you had to remove a tire and fender liner.  Well this morning I give her a call and the convo went a little like this:

me: Hey I couldn't do it.  You'll need to take it to a real mechanic.  I tried for hours to make it work and I'm just stupid.  However, the funny thing is that the belt is routed differently than what the manual says it should be.

her: Yeah that's probably because theres a different motor in the car.

me: .....

her: .....don't you remember???

me: no, how would I know that, and why isn't it the same motor?!?!?!

her: they had to replace the motor because XYZ....

Talk about info I could have used way earlier.  So that explains why things were wrong.  I tried to ask her what motor they put in it but decided against it and told her she should take it back to the shop that put the motor in since they know what they put in there.

So thanks to you all for your help.  I knew I wasn't that dumb.

So, I think I'm losing my mind since I've been working on this for a while.

Below is what the manual says.  Just snapped this photo.

And this is the pic I took of the belt that was on there before i took it off.

WTH am I missing something?

You need to check the belt routing it sounds like you trying to install  it routed wrong.

Yeah I just did that. Took pics of before and it’s the same. 
 

below is the slack I see. 
 

Hey all, I've been googling my tail off and can't figure this out.  I have a '15 Edge Sport AWD w/ the 2.7l ecoboost.  I bought the Continental P# 4060680 belt from Autozone.  Supposed to be direct replacement.  It seems like the same size as the old belt.  Well I got the old one off just fine.  When I try and install the new belt it doesn't go over the tensioner.  It seems like it's too short, even though they are the same size.  Is there a trick to this?  I have done other belts and when you pull the tensioner they tend to slip right over and not be super tight.  This one won't even go over the tensioner.  Should I be using another pulley?? At a lost and pretty frustrated, any help would be appreciated.  I keep trying to look for anything online, but not getting any where.
