Re: changing belts (jonoknut)
You need to inspect the belts for any signs of wear like cracking or missing ribs, etc. The alternator and PS belts are pretty easy to change. The alternator can be a tight squeeze but it can be done w/o even getting underneath the car. The A/C belt is more difficult because you have to unbolt the lower driver side engine mount underneath the left frame rail, but even then it's not too hard.

If a belt has already stretched beyond its usable capacity, you should never readjust the tension back to within spec. It will only strain an only already-stretched belt.
Just get new belts from Pepgirls. $10.00 a belt (dayco).
