CHINO11550 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Is there a way to tighten the free moving tension pulley on this type of setup... my alt is slipping but belt is not sqeacking...it's a old belt which is going to get changed out for a gatorback & hopefully fixes it...but I was wondering if there is a way to tighten it a little ?

Lbox88 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Change the belt, maybe even shorter if it still slips. How much surface contact do you have at the alt, belt to pully? This, did you put a new belt on when you put the alt on? Get a Gates Green Stripe belt. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the best thing to do after talking to a few alternator shops...my tensioner is weak & I'll replace it with a new belt....thanks for info H/U Pioneer deh80prs w/ HRT iStreamer Ipod DACFront stage is active, 4 Morel Elate 6.5" & 8 CDT DRT26 tweetsamp running 4mids, Mosconi Audio 300.2amp running 8tit & alum tweets, Mosconi Audio 200.28 12" Ascendant Audio Chaos. amps 2 Digital Designs M4'zbox is a 4th order band passbatts. 1 XS Power D3400 under hood,6 D3100 in back2 XP 370 amp DC Power alts.MLA module 15+voltsAll in a 97 2door Tahoe LT2010 West Coast Reg. 140-149.9 Bass Race Champ Team Bass Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHINO11550 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm going with a Gates green belt but that website is a little confusing for me...can anyone tell me which belt I should get from them...people say the green HD belt would be best but can't find the one I need.....I need the correct name of the belt since there is a few different types so I can order or get at O'reilly's if they have it.....
