Re: Belt tension question...
The nice long stretch of belt, is likely the length running between the alternator and the a/c, this is where you would want to push on it to gauge if it moves more than a half inch. On my XJ its tought to get an arm in there to push on the belt due to the battery location.
TO ALL PRESENT, AND FUTURE, OWNERS OF RECREATION VEHICLES: may your days afield be filled with joyful and purposeful activity---but never at the expense of your fellow man, lesser creatures, the soil, woods or water.

I got it güdentight. 1/4" of movement. No slip, and no squawk. Best of all, no more rattle from the pump.

Re: Belt tension question...
I put a couple hundred miles on it in the last couple days. Belt needs to be tightened again. It's not bad, just squawks when the a/c first kicks on. After that, it seems fine.

Serpentine belts do stretch right after you put them on. They say they are not supposed to, but they do a little

Re: Belt tension question...
Any new belt will stretch. This belt isn't new, but not old either. You can still clearly read the lettering on it.
