Autozone sells generic (goodyear) belts for $20-25. You don't need a part number, they can look it up for you. As far as I can tell these belts are fine, they pull my supercharger as good as anything, so I imagime they should work fine with the accessories.

I hate the tensioner pulley. I had to replace the Goodyear belts that I bought because the drive belt was start to get cracks in it. For some reason when I go to tighten the tensior bolt it goes off to the side. What do I need to do to tighten the that bolt straight? As of now I need to most likely replace my tensioner pulley because of this.

I am refering to the bolt circled in red

Snug up the other bolt that "locks in" the tension bolt and then back it off a 1/4 turn and then re-tension. That bolt on the side lets the tension one slide off if its too loose.

After lunch update. I got the bolt a little bit straighter. That thing is a b!tch to tighten straight. After busting a knuckle, I called it quits until later tonight.

Kurt; do what he had mentioned. if that isn't helping at all it is possible you may need a new tensioner pulley.

I will. It's just a pain to work in that spot without removing the cooling fans. That creates so much more work space.

it's much easier to reach fom underneath the vehicle if you are using a socket wrench OR a wratcheting wrench is ideal. mine fits in there with plenty of clearence and your knuckles don't get torn apart by the fan shroud.
