Is anyone making an alternator belt tensioner for the GMC Motorhome - something similar to the automatic tensioners on late model vehicles? I have new belts on our coach and have them tensioned to the best of my ability but still sometimes have belt squeal for a short time after start-up.

JimK has a belt tensioner for sale on his web-site if you want one. It looks like the one pictured in Gene's links.
If the belt only squeals for a bit at start up, it may not be that big of a problem?

Tom,
The spring loaded units are designed for Serpentine belts that are flat and
thin with a wrap around the alternator and A/C compressor.
On V belts they are the ones that you set y turning the bolt and locking it
down with a nut.

remember
what ever you use to set the belt tension (a 2x4 - or a tensioner ;>)
the bolts in the device (alternator, ac pump, ps pump) are what hold the
belt tight, not the tensioning device. the device can even be removed
after
the belt tension is complete.....

and
the most critical part is , the alignment of the belt leaving the pulley
and using the correct belt as well as the tension.

Gene,
In your link:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/5950/KEEP_THEM_STRAIGHT.pdf
On the bottom left of side 6 is a picture of 455 belts.
It has all the parts called out by number, but there is no picture/part number reference included.
Can you tell us the part number that relates to that picture's part 0315?
Thank You
Matt
