Ok i keep on shearding my PS/AC belt. i think its the tensioner. Would a bent tensioner do this. cuz thats what i think it is. i put a new one on and its shreaded in like 3 hours. i thought i tihgtened it too much but i dont think thats it. anyone with past experance with this could help me out i would be very thankful. Cuz right now im stumped and need some help. thanks guy

the tensioner bracket was bent on me and proceeded to do that till i replaced it...

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

i've got the same problem man. The tensioner pulley on my car does not even cover the whole width of the belt. It always leaves .5cm of belt without the pulley even touching it. I'm still trying to figure out if my afx pulley is not aligned or if its my tensioner pulley bracket is bent.

Check Alignment... If it looks aligned then look for obvious things that could be rubbing it. Also if you over tighten it, it well break... If you under tighten it, it could jump on you. I’ve broke thousands of alternator belts when going around corners and gunning it half way through turn. It torqued engine so much that it mess up alignment and throws the belt.

Thanks for all the help guys. Really thanks. I think its the bent tensioner. Cuz i dont have a UDP(yet but i ordered mine today and the first belt just broke on my while driving. Im gonna replace the tensioner along with all new gator back belts and a bunch of other stuff like a water pump and stuff like that. ill tell you guys what happenes when im done. Thanks again

I went to satan yesterday to find out how much a belt tensioner coast. Can you say 100 bucks just for the dam tensioner. So once i get paid friday im gonna im go thier and pick one up, also thier on national back order from dodge. Dam satan.
