LoudPursuit Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Hey guys, What are all of the symptoms of belt slip? I know there is typically a squeal but can it slip a little and cause a voltage spike? I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my car. I assume its this due to the alt having an overdrive pulley and no real belt size was given (which SUCKS). Any help?

fox_racin4 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Sometimes you wont hear the belt slip But belt slip wont cause a spike Just voltage drop Go to a parts store an give them the number off your belt and ask fir 1" or even 1/2" shorter ( a half inch will make a hige differance) 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole
HunterJohnson Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 I got a new belt tensioner and a belt 3/8 shorter. Volts hold up much better now Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
LoudPursuit Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Posted September 24, 2012 My belt seems fine, but I ask because I periodically get a spike when accelerating which I am trying to eliminate.

LoudPursuit Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Posted September 24, 2012 And to clarify I do have a smaller belt already but I think I could still fit a size smaller.

LoudPursuit Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Posted September 24, 2012 Aftermarket and it jumps to 16.4 which throws my amps into protect. I think it may just be a blown regulator.
