grumble On a Friday that your vehicle decides to break? grumble

My serpentine belt just went on my car. Or it didn't go quite yet. Just enough so I can't drive the dang thing because you would have to be Hercules to steer the damn thing. Mechanic says, I can get to it next thursday and it may be the tensioner. Sigh!grumble

I don't know anything about your ex but most any guy knows it only takes about 20 minutes on most cars to put that belt on. The tensioner CAN be a b**ch but still.noway

omgosh! lmao..... my ex doesnt work on cars!! hehehe... wait... i'm still picking myself off the floor for that! hahalaugh laugh

I was always the one responsible for taking the cars to the mechanic.... even for getting the oil changed.

on a serious side though... if the tensioner is bad don't ya have to replace it? or can it just be adjusted?

No you don't adjust tensioners. They are just spring loaded. They either work or you replace them. Don't know what you drive but I just replaced a neighbors belt and tentioner, her cost a total of about 80$ for the parts. It was a 94 GM.
She's a single mom so I charged her a whole six pack of cold ones that I shared with her.bigsmile
