Cant seem to figure out how to replace belt, doesnt get any tension, please post picture

Make sure both pulleys the belt contacts are in alignment. Look for any metal parts close to the belt that may be shredding the belt.

7aFE or 4AFE engine.
old post, if you cant figure that out. then post vin, post photo of it.
my guess is it is a V belt, be nice to all that.
and you did say ALT and ALT tilts.
the alt has pivot on the bottom, and the top has built in
belt tension adjuster there,
one gets all that loose, and use it to set tension on the belt
about 10lbs force mid span on belt and 1/2" deflection
almost all V bets set like this for 100 years, even a tin lizzy.

could not find a diagram but here is good website that describes how to replace the belt, hope it helps Tim

The tensioner will be down lower and it will have a large metal roller wheel attached to it that is pushing against the timing belt to take the slack out of the timing belt, and you should be able to see it if the timing cover is removed, here is a picture of what you are looking for, and let me know if you still can not find it, or you require further assistance .

Here ya go...


Serpentine drive belt routing-GM “C and H” Bodies 3.8L (VIN 1) engine

The other belt has a tensioner and is located under the ac compressor. It takes a 8mm bolt to loosen it.

are you sure you put it on the right way go to autozone.com and get a belt diagram. did you put the belt on upsidedown?

The belt tensioner is to the right below the alternator .

This procedure involves correcting the tension on the power steering accessory and A/C compressor drive belt.

1. Loosen the power steering pump locking bolts A and B and pivot bolt C(Illustration 1 and 2 ) to allow adjustment of belt tension.
2. Using a 1/2" breaker bar, adjust belt tension by applying torque to the square hole "D" on the power steering pivot bracket. Adjust the tension as follows:

Belt tension with no belt replacement: A. Using the Belt Tension Gauge Special Tool Kit C-4162, adjust the belt tension to 100 lb.
B. Tighten in order, first tighten the locking bolt A to 27 Nm (20 ft. Ibs) then, bolt B to27Nm (20 ft. Ibs). Finally tighten the pivot bolt C to 54 Nm (40 ft. Ibs).
Belt tension with belt replacement:
A. Using the Belt Tension Gauge Special Tool Kit C-4162, adjust the belt tension to 135 lb.
B. Tighten in order, first tighten the locking bolt A to 27 Nm (20 ft. Ibs) then, bolt B to 27Nm (20 ft. Ibs). Finally tighten the pivot bolt C to 54 Nm (40 ft. Ibs).
C. Start the engine and allow the vehicle to idle for 15 minutes to allow the belt to seat.
D. Repeat the belt tensioning procedure, set belt tension to 135 lb.
