_paralyzed_ Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Alignment and length are two different things. You're talking about both, so which is the problem? If the belt is the wrong length, get the right length belt. If it is misaligned have you replaced all the shims/washers/spacers that the factory alt utilized? If you have can you use your own shim/washer/spacer to put it into alignment? As with everything else on the internet for the last 14 years, pictures would be of great help.

d-nice88 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 ive been busy so havent had time to post pics but tomorrow for sure im gonna get out there and get some pics. when i looked at my old alt and the new alt the old one has a bigger pulley on it so that one had no problem lining up straight and with the mechman alt the pully is smaller so the belt pulls inward on the alt which causes the belt to be off on the tensioner to where it almost wants to slip off i mean its right on the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan DM Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The size of the pulley shouldn't affect the alignment of the pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
