Guest Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Ok, I am facing reality. I have belt slip on my alternator. Found black powder the belt today... The issue is not belt length or tightness....I am almost positive the issue is lack of belt wrap on my pulley...my car is weird...no standard tensioner, it has a funky screw mechanism...this is the best pic I can find of it online... Is there a way to fix the slipping? I am willing to add a idler pulley if possible and necessary. Any help would be much appreciated!
Kyblack76 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 add idler on bolt a, stretch the smallest belt you can.... have a stroke if you have to, to get it on. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
Ahmed Johnson Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Usually a smaller belt is needed to address your problem. Maybe your belt is missing a rib. I'm just throwing shit out there, what kind of car do you have?
Kyblack76 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 also... SOME residue dont mean slip.. do you hear monster squeal ?? or did you "just fine some black shit" just some black shit dont mean its slipping.... SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
Jessica Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 i got the same issue, i built a beast braket and tighten the living hell out of the belt. (i actually bought a tensioner but refuse to make another bracket) Not the best solution as an idler would be better but im done messing with a 500 year old car i cant get parts for. TLDR buy an idler and figure out how to mount it to give you more wrap Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Guest Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Its a 2003 Toyota Highlander on a Mechman 240amp alt. And it was more than just black residue, it would squeak alot upon start up and then go away, I can tighten it down more but the squeaks come back every couple of weeks. And where is a good place to buy an idler pulley for this application?

Guest Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 How would I go about doing so? At least some movement in the right direction...
OrzechNJ Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Goodyear belt will solve the problem.. sometimes Loud is NOT pretty Sounds like its safe to go ahead and bend that ass over.
