<VV> Fan belt tension

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Mark,

Vibration on the belt at the looser settings is normal, but generally the belts stay on better this way.  I'm surprised you can hear it inside the car.  I think I'll go back to my first suggestion to try a different brand of belt.  You could also swap on a louder muffler or stereo, depending on your tastes :-)
