Default Re: Fan Belt Tension Adjuster....

38Bill...

I was in the garage today and my fan belt on the '36 PU had about 1 and 1/8th inch deflection at the half way point of the belt.

I snugged it up, knowing about not being too tight, and now it has just shy of an inch maybe 7/8ths inch.

It seemed before that my ammeter was bouncing just a wee bit at idle and I was concerned the belt was slipping a tad bit.

I was brought up to make sure they were about 1 inch of deflection.

Is this too tight now??
