I have a 2010 Ram 1500 and I get a lot of belt squeal when it is humid or raining. I went to pull on the tensioner and the bolt is turning instead of the tensioner moving. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to keep pulling on it and wreck something, but I also don't want to take it into the shop and pay somebody $200 to do something I should be able to do.

Thoughts?

Nevermind, I was doing it all wrong and figured out my mistake. All changed in 20 minutes.

On a side note, how do you delete a post so nobody sees how stupid a question you asked?
