Hey,

Sorry for this question again, I know it's been covered but I just searched and can't find any related threads to it.

Just installed the EDGE over this past weekend. AT least one of my belts are slipping when I slam on the gas. I thought the Gator belts solved this problem but I can't be sure. Can someone let me know if I need to replace both belts or just one, should use a Gator and how hard is the install to do myself.

Thanks,

 

It,s common with a tuner.A gatorback belt normally stops it.Your truck only has one belt and you need a big a$$ breaker bar to loosen the tensioner,lots of pressure.Very easy to change,diagram under the hood.

 

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try.

 

My shifting is set to very hard, and the belt slippage is very loud at WOT, though it kinnda sounds like a BOV at lower RPM shifts. I'll prolly get a Gator belt when I get underdrive pulleys.

What exactly is slipping?

 

You need the Gatorback serpentine belt:

JK007, I like how your truck looks. I had a body lift for mine but I sold it because I could not find any pictures of trucks that I liked the look of them with the body lift. I wish I would not have sold it now. Those 35's look pretty good. Sorry to get off subject.

 

hey thanks man, I appreciate the compliment. I had a 2 tone 2000 Scab with same colors as your Screw. I through a PA 3" BL on it but then totaled the truck a month later in a 20 car plie up in MI. I was hesitant on getting a Screw only because I thought my Scab was the perfect size and I wasn't sure how a Screw would look. My wife actually talked me into the Screw (we have a 3 year old and 6 month old). I am SOOOOOO glad she did. Not only do I think it looks good with a BL on it, but I love the extra room in the back.

The only thing that I don't like is the 5' bed but honestly, I've had this truck since Feb and I have not needed the extra foot for anything. 2 things I can pretty much bet on:

1. I'll always own a Screw and won't go back to a Scab
2. I'll always have at least a BL on any new truck I get.

I just hope this one lasts longer than my last one. If you are considering a BL lift again for your Screw, you should do it. I love mine.

Take care buddy,
