LOL! That's because no belt tensioner can handle the torque produced by all
his mods!! 60K for Bernd, 100K for the rest of us.;-)

60K on the average...but check the belt for cracks and also the edges for
white strands...if you see either of them, change the belt.

What is the average life span of these belts? My records indicate that the
serpentine belt was last replaced at 58,600 miles and I now have 127,200 on
my truck; so the belt has a little under 70,000 miles on it. I know a broken
belt would ruin the day like a blown radiator hose could. Time to replace
it???????
