tensioners I checked my oil the other day and was supprised to find my serpintine belt running half off half on. When I replaced it with a new gm belt it stays in the grooves ok but makes alot of racket. I fiqure its the tensioner. Do the stock tensioners give alot of problem? Should I order an aftermarket unit or just order a stock gm replacement.............Im chirped to death...have a lot of you had this problem?

yes.....a lot of people have had problems with the stocker going out (I have 4 years and 60K miles on my original so go figure)......
you can order another stocker or you can order the Kayteck (sp?) manual one that replaces the entire spring tensioner.......
