Re: 97 Cherokee Serpentine Belt Tension?

Isn't it an automatic tensioner on the 97? I guess maybe not.

In general you want to have the longest travel between pulleys move no more than 3/4" when you push on it fairly hard. The tool probably applies a calibrated amount of pressure and measures the distance the belt is deflected.
