I replaced my main belt last month. Is it possible over-tighten the main belt? I have no way of telling how tight to have the belt other than to make sure it's snug. FSM doesn't really give clear guidance. Anyone got tips?

 

Same problem here

 

Is it squealing? how do you know it's slipping? I doubt it's on too tight.

 

If it was put on last month and you havent tightened it again, I would bet you need to again.. New belts have to be checked after a few hundred miles because they stretch a little. If its squealing at start up and going away I really wouldnt worry about it, it could be just condensation on it.

 

yup mine sqweals are start up and my mechaic said its just wet and has condensation on it. over tightiining it will tear the belt... DUHHHH... my opinion just leave it

 

check to see how loose it feels. If you can turn/twist the belt more than 90 degrees you may want to tighten it up. Don't tighten it up to where you can't twist it 90 degrees.
