I just opened the hood on the L and was looking how loose the charger belt is I can seriously pull it off by hand with out the tensior.

Is there anyway to tighten up its a stock 00 lightning.

Something is wrong! I know, that's obvious but something is broken----maybe the idler tensioner spring or one of the idler pulley's bolts??? I don't think the belt could stretch that much but that's something to look at too.

have you owned it since new? if not maybee the person before you could have had a lower pulley on it with a different belt so they took the pulley off and left the bigger belt on. just an idea

 

I just got it a month ago.. The belt doesn't slip i don't think so.. It ran a 8.67 @ 82.39 last night. All it has is a PSP chip, K&N. I pop the hood to clean the k&N and squeezed the supercharger belt and it had a good bit of play in it. i could actually slid it off one of the pulley's. If I wanted too.

Is it a stock belt?

 

sorry guys...

Belt part # on it is XL3V 8620 BA I have no idea if this is stock I just got it a month ago.

Brad

 

thats the stock belt.

 

No such thing as a stupid question dude. Goodluck on your belt

 

Whats that saying....something like a stupid question is one that isn't asked or something...

 

Obviously your tensioner is "gone". That or the belt is routed wrong somehow. Has any work been done on it recently? (personaly I do all my own work so know I don't have that problem).

 

No nobody has touch under the hood!! So my tensioner is probably gone!!


Brad

 

Brad,

Can you pull it of the supercharger pulley?(Like up and off) Or are you just sliding it forward, and off the idler pulley(s)?

Either way it sounds like the tensioner has gone bye bye..

Good luck on it.

 

Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

 

No i can just pull it off the idler pulley's it takes a little tugging!
