red dot sheet showed the identical bracket, but just with the idler pulley in place of the pancake compressor. System works fine without the tensioner pulley in the new hole. Belt is a little large, still tight but not what it should be. I'll be heading out to napa/oreilly/autozone sometime to...

Yep would agree there. Just installed it back in the original hole. Runs fine, belts a but loose, might get one a bit shorter cause the tensioner is jumping around a tiny bit... Dang so I drilled that hole for no reason... I knew the pancake braket didn't need it...

That tensioner has been through a lot. I'm not surprised. It's been shattered to pieces and put back together.... Lol I wouldn't say it's a good thing to have this setup, all my experience with red dot has been horrible. My last compressor failed about 2 months with only a week total in...

That's not correct? The kit is a serpentine red dot kit. The instructions most definitely say and show redrilling of the pin hole and a serpentine belt in one photo. I had the 5 belt v belt setup before this on my 6.2 and that was way simpler, and also no drilling there.

1. Belt was 100% tight. Tensioner pin definitely was in the hold, verfied several times before installation. 2. It's a possiblity, I will be disassembling the area tomorrow and examining what went wrong. 3. Slow down there, I didn't use a pancake compressor, I threw away the pancake and I am...

Yes this is frustrating. And no it's not my lack of mechanical knowledge. You know the funny thing ? This is the first project I've done on my truck in 3 years where I actually followed the instructions EXACTLY. I've even given myself the benefit of the doubt and gone through to make sure I...

Not 30 minutes after I start the truck up, the tensioner snaps back to the loose position and starts grinding. The hole DID NOT need to be redrilled. Now I have a belt that needs replacing and a vehicle sitting disabled in an mwr parking lot. I'll have to rip the whole system out and move the...

Currently at a school, and have zero of my tools, and the one toolkit I do have is taking up all the personal storage space I have. I'll have to borrow a drill (cause f**k buying one) or ship mine from home. I just wanted to see if I could simplify the process, but it appears not.

Dang, what would happen if I didn't change the orientation? I have the later style pancake compressor currently installed, does that make a difference?

I was just looking through the instructions for the compressor And it says to redrill the hole for the tensioner pulley, but I don't have access to a drill. Does anyone know if it's actually required to redrill that hole?
