Belt problems.
Belt problems. I was wondering if anyone has their belt jump off when going over 6000rpm's? My friend had his rev limiter set at 6400rpms and his would come off occasionally. I did about 10 pulls on the dyno last week. I heard the power steering squaling and checked it out. My belt had jumped over a few grooves. How do you fix this problem?
Re: Belt problems. I have heard of it a couple times. It was coming off at the tensioner. There is a company selling a tensioner with larger outer ribs to keep the belt on at high speeds. I will try to find it again and post for you, unless someone else knows what Im talking about and beats me to it.

It obviously starts with the tensioner because thats the way it spins. If there's a fix, I WANT IT.
