Air tensioners do work for Prevost but they're used on low RPM motors vs gas motors that fast idle at near diesel governed speeds. If you've ever seen the belts flailing away before air tensions them you'd swear they'd be pitched. I'd think a simple spring loaded tensioner could be incorporated with little effort. Of course it would need more tension than the typical serpentine tensioner but I'd suspect it should be quite doable. KISS still rings true IMHO. Hal
