Replaced my belt again. This time I replaced w dealership belt. Had the advance auto part belt, Dayco Carquest. Had it for 3k & it didn't seem smooth or quiet. So far I like da dealership belt. FYI.. Go get one now cause they are trying to raise price. I paid $66 + tax.
Also get serpentine belt tool kit at harbor freight for $13 & change w 20% coupon. Didn't want to hassle w tool rental/loan. Highly recommend it. So much easier than breaker bar.

Mines is right at border/line. What will cause it to get out of line or go bad? Just replaced belt again.

When I replaced the belt I found it easy just to remove the splash shield.

Follow the schedule. Also, look at the indicator notches on the belt tensioner to ensure you're in spec. If out of spec, then I would change the belt.

Can someone explain the notches on the tensioner? What’s in compliance and not? Thank you
