Belt shredding problems Belt shredding problems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I have been constantly having belt shredding problems everytime I go WOT. This sucks. I got a laser aligning tool and so far it seems the alt and powersteering pulley is half a rib off( this is on a C5. Can this small amount cause it? I checked the powersteering to crank and it is about dead on, havent checked the blower pulleys ( 4 inline two smooth idlers and one ribbed and blowe pulley) How much is to much off and how do I correct it. Add a washer to bring out alt pulley?

Are you running the standard ATI kit or one of the tuner setups (ECS, A&A, MDMC, etc) ?
6 or 8 rib?

How much boost are you trying to push with your current combo?

but it isnt any good if the belt wont stay on 
If I didnt have so much money invested in this setup, I would definately go turbo 
Where you not satified with the ECS kit? Belt problems? Just wanting to know b/c if this pulley alignment doesnt do the trick I am going to get the ECS bracket setup (around 1450) and if it is still going to shred belts I can keep that money Last edited by bd2bonez06; Aug 26, 2005 at 11:45 PM.

Start by getting the alignment spot on and using a good belt. I had the best luck with the Gates green stripe belts.
