hey thanks a lot rbgpmp for all the responses..well just an update..i brought it to a friend today to do the steps you told me to do and for some reason when i got there and popped the hood to check the belt..it was tight again..and i mean when comparing to his belt..it was almost the same..last time i checked was yesterday and it was loose as ever..an inch slack and everything..but today when i checked it was tight? thats really weird..any comment on that?..
