voltage is fine(in dash gauge shows high, but it tests fine with a multi-meter) and my CD player would have blown long before the headlights would have gone(right?)
the tensioner is spring loaded, so proper tension is guaranteed, all you do is loosen the bolts, the spring applies the right tension, you turn the motor over by hand to let the tensioner take up the slack and then you tighten the tensioner bolts down so it is held in place.brilliant!-Owen
I really wish vdub had done it that way.
ant this auto tensioner does not auto-tension while running, just for belt installation, then you tighten it down ant the right tension is kept.
