[GMCnet] Alternator tension. How to get it? [message #229163] Sun, 10 November 2013 15:11 Go to previous message

Now I see why there is an aftermarket solution to this problem. Is there a
trick to getting the alternator belt sufficiently tight? My belt screams. I
can see where the mounting bolts can slide in the bracket, and they are
currently at the bottom of that slide meaning that there's plenty of room
for the alternator to come up which will increase the belt tension.
I just can't seem to get the alternator to move up any.

The bolts are all loose, so I think the alternator should move fairly
freely but it's not.

Suggestions advice? All are much appreciated.
