Accessory belt needs tightening... I was told it was the pully between the crank and alternator. (spring loaded) SO all I had to do was back it off. I did and it still doesnt tighten... The pully does pivot..

replace the belt??? or ??


THANKS

start by replacing the belt, if that doesn't help, the tensioner may need replaced.
