ok so its been awhile since ive been on here been busy with work. So ive done a few more stuff to my truck im now pushing 11psi with the procharger and i keep breaking belt tensioners.. anyone know of a really solid belt tensioner that fits the nnbs trucks?

 

anyone?

 

Maggie makes a real nice 8 rib...dunno if it'll fit ur set-up tho...try Innovators East?

 

im still running a 6 rib ive broke 3 belt tensioners and 10 belts in a week

doesnt matter...if ur gonna buy a new one buy an 8rib...that way when u go 8 its 1 less to buy! Seems to me ur not runnin proper length if everything's breakin tho...

 

ok so im running goodyear gatorback belt its 114 inch long fits fine not too tight but its really snug.. if i go 114.5 its a bit too long and throws the belt everytime. But if i try 13.5 which takes 2 people to get on by the way, its too tight and breaks the tensioner... so ive stuck with the 114, but they only last about a week, and if you wot it will either break the tensioner or throw the belt everytime.. pullies were just checked with laser everthing is fine.

 

so what am i looking at here should i try a tensioner or should i just go 8 rib? and would going 8 rib help?

 

also where can i get an 8rib kit for my truck and how much $ we talking?

 

I was going to have to have an 8 rib set up made for my truck, too much $$$$ for my taste

have you tried adding an additional idler pulley for some more belt wrap so you can run a lil' less tension
