I have a 96 Plymouth Grand Voyager.... The problem is a design issue. The serpentine belt on this model is not adequately shielded from the right front wheel well. With the belt exposed to road debris and especially water, the belt becomes dislodged (can break the belt and other components when this happens) or if water is the culprit it will be thrown with no other apparent cause. I have had to replace mine once from debris dislodging it, and 5 times due to water. If you have a belt that actually lasted longer than a few months, have it checked for road tar and oils, dirt, and any other signs of over-exposure to the road elements. If enough of us suckers (who bought this ride) come together, maybe they'll finally admit their error and issue either a recall (fat chance) or a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin (more likely, but still fat chance). I threw mine on the way home again this evening...more cash out the window...looks like it's time to trade up, but it won't be a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Plymouth product!!!

How do you adjust the serpentine belt tension on your 1992 town car which you think is causing engine to die when you turn on heat and fan?
Serpentine belts have an automatic tensioner, which cannot be adjusted. But your problem sounds like poor alternator performance, have it checked, at your local parts store most do it for free.

What is tension and compression?
Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.

Why is my 1996 ford Thunderbird 4.8 going threw alternators?
It could be a bad battery check this first. Then check your connections on the back of the alternator looking to make sure the wires are not crossed or frayed causing a short. Also check the tension on the serpentine belt if it is too tight this will wear the bearings out prematurely on the alternator causing it to fail.

If it is a serpentine belt the idler pulley more than likely needs replacing. If it is a drive belt you are adjusting it too tightly.
Squealing noise when ac is on 2004 Toyota Avalon?
Most likely a worn serpentine belt. Replacing the belt with a new one should correct the noise. If not the belt, it could be the idler pulley, which is not putting enough tension on the above belt, causing it to slip and thus squeal.
In general what was causing the tension among the soldiers?

Why would a car make noises after drive belt has been replaced?
could be that one of the belt driven components, such as power steering pump, alternator....etc, has a worn internal bearing. Reason being, is when the new belt is replaced, the tension is usually tighter causing more stress on the pulley and bearing.. Tom
Why is your idle pulley busting serpentine belts?
Because the bearing in it has worn out and it is locking up causing the belt to break.
