I went though 4 belts in three weeks it usually happends i first and second gears. I tried all different tensions. are there any belt up grades? Ive been using cheap 8 dollar ones. all I have only bolt ons clutch and fly wheel. I found one of the belts and it is still in new condition. am I doing Some wrong or do other people have this problem because changing altinator belts on a regular basis is a pain in the a$$

 

I had my power steering belt come off on my R/T once after hitting the rev limiter, but no belt problems other than that.

 

You probably have the thing too tight on there, loosen it up a bit, and dont use cheap ****, with car parts you get what you pay for.

 

Never really head of that. I would go with a better belt and see what happens.

 

what kind of belt would you suggest I always thought a belt was a belt I found my last one and its still in prefect condition

 

Is the alternator loosened up after this happens? Have you watched it running to see if one of the pulleys is out of line? I know that this has happened with some guys that don't get their new UDP lined up quite right.

 

no everything is lined up correctly and I used a paint stick to ceck if it came loose and it didnt I took Highline97jl's advise and loosened it up a bit I put the belt on loose and tightened it while the car was runing untill just a couple turns after it stopped squeiling and i hope it works its been a day in a half and no problems so far and Ive been pushing my car hard

I even raced an srt4 last night for the hell of it to test my belt situation and I wallked all over it It was boned stock except for a boost controller and the driver was inexperieced but he talked the talk and I thought I was going to loose for sure so i didnt put money on it. he even offered to through down pinks but better be safe than walking any other driver and i would have been but after i won im kicking my self in the a$$

 

be careful what you say about beating an srt-4....alot of people wont believe it...and throw a fit

 

You missunderstood I wasnt bashing the srt4 what so ever I have total respect for the srt4, but with out the right driver its useless I seen an old 70 year old couple driving an srt4 the other day man that in my mind is a waste in my mind no offense to the elderly

 

your sure it was the srt4 and not the lookalike wanna be that dodge made?
