[QUOTE="blacksheep10, post: 700283, member: 13"] Regardless of wrap, if you have a spring tensioner in line with a load after it, when the load increases (more amp w rpm draw if alt, use the pump, etc) the tension on the belt increases. If there is a spring tensioner BEFORE the load (pump/alt) it will yield and the belt will loosen. I agree lots of wrap is important as well. Put a fixed idler or tensioner there. If you can't move the spring one down right off the crank (passenger lower side where the belt is exiting the crank and headed uphill, this is where slack is) just put a fixed with slide on it. When I made my accessory kit I used a fixed idler style and a slot in a plate with a nut holder rail on the backside and tensioned normally like an old V belt. [/QUOTE]
