[QUOTE="mustangmike01, post: 16255413, member: 37101"] How this started. Got a new alternator and it's a smaller pulley. My setup 03 cobra, 2.8 rr sc pulley, 4 lb lower, metco 4 piece idlers, alternator 3.5. was using a 81 5/8" belt, no belt problems or slip. just got the j2 alternator that comes with a 3.2 alternator pulley, belt was to lose, squealing like crazy. got a 81 1/8" and itwas fine for 50 miles. I can turn the belt side ways with ease 1/4 of the belt but i can turn it to up 1/2 of the belt if I really turn it. Or do u mean moving it vertical along the pulley surface? I may have found it. The indicator on the tensioner is way to he passenger side. Meaning the belts not aligned right. I guess if it was fine before its the alternator needs to be moved forward with washers a little. Not really shore though. Never had to do that with the oem alternators. The tensioner is still winning like crazy. So I may have killed it because the belt was not aligned right. [/QUOTE]
