I'm trying to run a short belt to bypass the airconditioning. I bought a 850K5 belt and it squeaks like hell when I crank it and give it some throttle. Is anyone out there running this type of setup who would know whats going on. I think it might be the way I have to put the tensioner in. I have to run the belt through it instead of over the top of it, so I cant get any tension on it. The belt is fairly tight though without tension. Is the belt wide enough, too short, or do I have the tensioner on the wrong way? Can someone please help me!
