SKEETS50

i had the EXACT thing happen to me. it was the tensioner not keeping the belt on the alternator tight enough

SKEETS50

had the alt. tested. it passed. so im gona try the voltage regulator

It was the voltage regulator. Now I need an 18mm so I can put my belt back on.

So after I installed the voltage regulator I fired up the car, that was at 6 AM. I just went out to put the belt on, then I went to start it and now it wont crank. HELP ME AGAIN



P.S. Thank you guys that have all helped me.
