white4d96 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Posted May 8, 2010 When it rains out, I get bad belt slip on my alt. I will lose voltage big time at idle, and if I stab the gas (sharp, not steady accel) I hear a short loud squeak and the alt kicks back in. Could I have some rubber or soemthing on the pulley that needs to be cleaned off? The belt is less than a year old. Think the tensioner is good but hard to tell, if you know 3.1's you know the stupid cheap-arse tensioner they have...any ideas? Too many projects, too little time...
newls1 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Posted May 8, 2010 really no way to have someone tell you what is wrong on this case... you need to remove the belt, check the tensioner, and belt, and replace what is needed.... I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny
white4d96 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Posted May 9, 2010 Gotta point there. Thanks for the advice Too many projects, too little time...
Colin - STAPUFT Posted May 9, 2010 Report Posted May 9, 2010 So it slips due to moisture or only when you Drive it in the rain? If it only happens when you drive in the rain, maybe some spray is getting on your belt from somewhere. Check to see if you are missing a plastic or rubber shield somewhere that blocks spray while driving in the rain. 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.
