Message: [QUOTE="CSIPSD, post: 1045774, member: 200"] Just an FYI... Maybe most have noticed but... Noticed on Sunday evening that the belt tensioner on Chelsea's Excursion was getting ready to bust, I should have just stayed home Monday and fixed it but I left and hoped one of the guys local could just fix it really quick. Had Cody come over on Tuesday and he picked up the part I paid for at Oriely's. Texted me with the issue...

So then he sends me this picture...

Now I have swapped dozens of these things over the years, any parts store has always carried them... and they have all looked like the old one shown... Check there website and they show the old one but its special order... Napa is the same way, Advanced, same way, even Rock auto shows the older one (but they have both)... Long story short, I drove home last night and stopped at 3 stores, Oriely's, and two Napa's. None had the old one in stock. I just thought off the cuff and picked up a belt that was 3/4" shorter. Once I got home, 15 minutes and it was done. Just FYI more then anything, sucked to drive 6 hours home last night, fix the truck and drive 6 hours back to work this morning, then drive 6 more hours to go home tomorrow again... LOL [/QUOTE]
