[QUOTE="JGDogg10, post: 16148420, member: 140380"] So I finally got around to trying to put everything back together. I ended up buying a stock tensioner to replace my thump racing single bolt(which they no longer make and probably for a good reason) and changed a couple bearings in some of the pulleys. I went to put everything back on and the 112.4” belt is too short now. I didn’t grind the stop off of the new tensioner because I couldn’t remember if I was supposed to do that. I feel like I shouldn’t have to grind it to get the system to work properly, but I’m gonna call vortech on Monday to verify. But I think that the belt might have been too short this whole time and it wasn’t allowing the tensioner to flex when the belt was stretching, so when I let off the gas, the slack from the belt was getting slapped back on too quickly by the aftermarket tensioner and was jumping the belt off the pulleys(just a theory). I’m gonna order the 113.1” belt and see if that will put the tensioner in the proper clocked position. If this ends up working with the stock tensioner, I’ll probably try putting the thump tensioner back on and seeing if it will work as well with the longer belt. Fingers crossed I’d hate to have a $400 paper weight, but at this point if it works with the stock tensioner then I’m all good with that! Lol [/QUOTE]
