Here's the deal. We removed the AC from Jenn's car a few months back but now because of the serpentine belt routing the tensioner faces backwards. How does the belt tensioner work on cars that came without AC? Is there a reverse one? Her car started throwing the belt last week, it jumps one tooth back on the alternator. Its happened twice now and it shredded the belt (picking up a new one this afternoon). Thanks!

Stefan I just responded to some other dude who had this problem, and I've thrown a belt once too (yes, !AC over here for my FI setup). Check the alignment of the alternator -- it might be out of plane with the rest of things.
Are you running a 615 or a 620 belt?<b>97 Camaro 3.8L M5</b><br />Car for sale<a href=\"http://terpmotors.com\" target=\"_blank\">terpmotors.com</a> Terrapin Motorsports! UMCP -
