i guess it just fell off while i was driving? i couldn't ever keep the thing tight..it would always slip down and hit the other pulley's and make me lose my belt. has anyone else had this problem? what did you do about it?

man that must suck. i think mine came off under WOT...but that was only 6500 RPM. does anyone have a fix for this? it seemed to never stay on before it came off.

It is pretty common for the bolt holding the tensioner on to sheer. Basically just a design falw.
