Alternator belt keeps getting loose.
i'm guessing its that teethed nut that is used to tighten the belt. last time i really tightened it up and it still came loose. can i get a confirmation?

are you using a cheap belt from Kelly-Springfield or similiar cheap...........
those belts will constantly stretch, but not break after four to six months. I kept tightening and retightening, then realized a cheap belt is just that a cheap belt. I now use Goodyear Gator backs, or Gates belt with no problems.

I went to the dealer and purchased an new one
was like $7 or something like that. Some of the teeth were missing (previous owner). I also bought a quality belt, haven't had a problem since. Although it does require regular adjustments.
