Is anyone on here running one?
What'd you have to do to get it to fit?
I'm getting one with a 2.8 but looked on here and everyone said you have to modify the tensioner somehow, grinding part of it?
With what and how do you go about doing it?

 

i modified mine with a dremel but do youre self a favor take it off the car and take youre time i mangled my shock all up trying to do it on the car its not hard just take youre time

 

yeah i used a dremel tool as well I somewhat managed to somewhat not mangle everything but it took me some time.

 

hmm i'm wondering what all's involved in taking off the tensioner, since it is connected to that "spring" and all..
and how did you guys know when to call it quits on the dremeling?

 

to get it off only needs the 2 bolts tooken off, i used a hand grinder to grind down the three spots, took less time an turned out better. i just kept puttin the pulley on and off to check clearanc

once you get the bracket off put the pulley on an youll know the three spots im talkin about

 

There is 2 star bolts its very easy to take off then just put the new pully on the bracket outside the car . And you will see what you need to grind down and just keep grinding a little at a time and re testing till it sits flush like the original and turns smoothly on the bolt and it isnt making contact with the tensioner bracket .Or if youre not into this kinda work just buy a stage 2 belt buts its not as hard as it looks

 

t50 star bit

 

I got an electric hand grinder, no dremel but my buddy has one.
I just wanna know where to grind at and everything, if it's not correctly grinded the whole way the new tensioner pulley won't fit on right, right?

 

yes, take it off put the pulley on an youll see. ez as hell, use the hand grinder trust me.

the pulley wont spin cuz near the bottom there are 3 pieces of metal stickin up blockin it to set flush an spin

 

trust me just pull it off and put the new pully on you can figure out where to grind you will see the new pully wont sit flush with the bracket and grind till you can bolt the pully on it and spin it freely

 

alright nice so the determining factor of if it's right or not is if it sits vertically correctly and is able to spin flush?

its hard to tell from just that pic idk haha

 

man ur thinkin to much. take the bracket off its tooooo ezzzz....what you gotta grind is on the bottom of the bracket where it bolts up to the spring

 

just get it off and do it you will be fine very simple i wish some one would have told me to take it off the car would have saved alot of headaches lol

 

i was doin it on the car wit a dremel, what a pain. so i was **** this took it off, an grinded that bitch down quick

then i danced around like batman

 

haha yeah it'll be awhile before i actually install all my stuff i got so much **** to install it's not even funny lol, guess i will see when i have the belt off for dual pass if i can't grind it down then.
it won't hurt to grind it down and leave the stocker on till i put the new one on will it?

 

nope , the bracket will push down alot. dual pass endplate is on the opposite side. gotta take the sc off

 

lol i know this i was just asking if the stock pulley would be fine on the grinded tensioner.
and sidenote i absolutley hate this tensioner.....last time i had the s/c off it was ridiculous getting the belt back on, lol.

 

no you can grind it and put the stock pully back on it wont have anything to do with were you have to grind

 

lol o yea it will be fine just bolt up the oversized one save the trouble ...... zip tie the belt to the wire runnin across the front of the car

 

what do you need the oversived tensioner pully for?, imo its alot easier to just run the gm stg2 belt, or an adjustable tensioner,

 

huh??



I'm wanting to use the tensioner pulley cause i got it in a package deal with a 2.8 and 60's with harness brand new for 150 so haha.

 

dont know the zip tie method lol but yeah you can grind it ahead of time and put the original back on for now

 

lol alright nice.

im guessing the zip tie was a joke? hahahha.

 

yah take it off, i tried to do it on the car took for ever, still didnt get it all the way but most of the way( just had a slight rub but ran fine), said **** it and put the stock one back on and ordered a stage 2 belt. It probably would have been a 2 min job if i would have taken it off

 

If you need one i have the zzp adjustable tensioner
