Right you are -- the fan is driven by the backside of the belt. Thanks
for the explanation --

actually I thought I had found one at the PnP but I discovered
the fan blades were reversed on the one I brought home. I guess that
300SD (IIRC) runs in the opposite direction! I am always amazed at
the choices designers make. Why have one engine run in one direction
and another engine run in the opposite direction? Hmmm....
One engine, probably yours, runs the fan off the back of the belt,
which makes it run the opposite direction from the engine. Commonplace
with serpentine belts for low load pulleys like tensioners and water
pumps. With v-belts, even the tensioner pulley usually runs on the
inside surface of the belt.
