The ZZP adjustable tensioner replaces the stock tensioner.

thank you very much that is exactly what i needed to know,

i wonder if anyone has a close up picture of it installed that would prove to be very useful to me right now.

also, how is it adjustable?

The tensioner has 3 different holes. One is for a stock sized pulley (I believe), the middle one is for a 2.7" - 3", and the last one is for a 2.6" and less. You just choose which one you need to use depending on the size of the pulley your putting on and you put the bolt/screw into that hole and your set.

So where exactly is the slipping point in needing a aftermarket tensioner? I know people with 2.9's that have no belt slip and some even with 2.8's.

I needed it for my 2.8", but some other people didn't, its kinda hit or miss.

I have one but there is no way to tension it so its just collecting dust right now.

what do you mean there's no way to tension it. It has 3 holes one for several different sizes. bolt your tension arm into the right hole and then use the reverse threaded bolt to pull it down, put the belt back on and then let it back up and it tensions. mine works great for my 2.6

If you going to get a zzp product. Get it from zzp. Its cheaper. Oh I also have the tensioner and it works great.
