Default Manual Belt Tensioner on 01 5.3??

Hey guys. Got my 01 5.3 with a smaller pulley on my procharger. Guys at procharger says stock belt length is fine but it seems to not be tight enough and slip every now and then. Stock tensioner is as far out as possible and was wondering if there was a manual tensioner instead of replacing the whole belt. It's a big job once the supercharger is installed and would be much easier to put a manual tensioner on it. THanks

You will not find a manual tensioner. You need the correct length belt, which is going to be shorter than stock. You say you have a smaller pulley, post up what size pulley you have, and one of these Procharger guys may be able to help you with belt length.

Give the Procharger guys a few days to reply, they're kinda slow.....

It is a 3.6 pulley and makes about 11 lbs of boost
