Thumbs up

You guys are probably correct . . .

It is your belts, and it is the tension . . . your new belts once properly tightened . . . will stretch a bit within the first day or two . . . they need to be re-tightened . . .

Then again, our cars only have ONE belt, no? It's going around the alternator, crank pulley, and AC compressor . . .

Tighten it down a bit . . . the FSM recommends you leave approx 1/4" of free play in the belt no more. That means that (WITH THE ENGINE OFF!!) if you press down on the belt halfway between the alternator and the crank pulley, it will barely budge.

If I've said anything incorrectly, someone please correect me . . .
