Since fixing the PennTex Alternator a year or so ago I have never heard noise from the alternator but now it squeaks when the engine first starts up and when the slide rooms go out. I tried tightening the belts a few weeks ago and they were shredded within a 100 miles or so. How do tight should they be? I know there is a tool but is there an easier way to guage them? Currently if I push on them (two belts going around the alt, engine flywheel and a/c compressor) I can push them in about 2” as I recall. How do you guys gauge the belts please?
