Re: Problem with drive belt. Need Help!
If I were a betting man, I'd say you have the wrong belt. Like I said earlier, there are two different size alternators and therefore two different size belts. Somewhere along the line in the donor trucks 17 plus year history, someone got the wrong one and forced it on, it can be done. The fact that you took it back off and couldn't get it back on again tells me you probably just didn't notice the tensioner maxed out when you tore the engine down, as it likely came right off. There is no way I know of to put the accessories on wrong so that the belt is only an inch or so short. Just get a new belt for the big alternator and you should be golden.
