Hey guys I bought an alternator. Its a bigger casing alternator almost twice the size compared to the stock alternator. My belt wont reach the alt.
Heres a pic.  Or would I need to buy a bigger belt? Is it hard to adjust the tensioner? Also, how do you adjust it? lol This post has been edited by DatDudeDEnd: Mar 27, 2009 - 8:44 PM |

Nope alt is to big to even try to position it in a diferent way. ok, so why did u buy a bigger in size alternator?? and the adjustment for the belt iss usually the alt. what engine do u have? u have to be able to adjust the belt somewhat to give u proper tension. but if you are able to adjust it just get a longer belt -------------------- Lift Addict!! ^_^
