Serpentine belt tension

TIGHT... use your thumb to test it for tightness. When your thumb pushes HARD on the belt between its furthest unsupported distance, it should deflect about a half-inch.

The tool (Gates #91132) is only $13.16 - cheap enough to buy even if you don't really need it

Yeah..............My wife thinks that I "collect tools" - kinda like I collect coffee cups from drug companies (I have over 300 different ones now)...........sometimes I use some of them (the tools - not the cups)

I guess God doesn't want me to get into gambling. Until a year ago, I bought a "Quick-Pick", with every tank of gas, for I don't know how many years. Now they have the thing that allows the use of a credit card in the pump, so I don't go inside, & therefore don't buy a ticket, anymore. Over the several years that I did buy tickets - I believe that I won $5.00...........twice. Same thing happens, no matter what form of gambling. I learned as a young child that gambling just was not in my future. I have often thought of taking someone to Las Vegas with me & have this person bet twice as much on exactly the opposite of everything that I do. To become hooked - there has to be at least a little positive reinforcement.......
