Yep, Katech tensioner solves your problems. Mine was throwing belts and/or shredding them as well. Haven't had a single issue since I installed it. Another benefit is that belt installation/removal is much easier with this setup because you don't have to hold the tensioner down while you are messing with the belt. Seems kind of pricey when you first look at it, but it has been worth every penny.

Yep, should still use the same size belt. Why did you have a hard time putting the belt on? It should be very easy. Just loosen the bolt on the back of the tensioner, slide the belt over it, use a torque wrench to tension it to 25ft./lbs. and tighten the bolt back down on the back of the tensioner. I find this much easier than the stock tensioner. Anyway, if you installed it correctly you should never throw a belt again.
