    Is your belt slipping Im not sure I do know 1/4" slack from the bottom of the exhaust cam gear that's right above the tensioner in the middle of the two should be
    Tq to 40ft lbs.

    The SRT-4 has a self-adjuster.

    If your belt is too loose or squealing, get it checked out.

    There's two belts.

    One runs power steering and A/C. That one you could drive without.....with difficulty, but possible.

    The other belt runs the Alternator. You can't drive (far) without that one.
