Hi Guys,
New owner here of a 1998 B2500. I'm in the middle of a timing belt change and have a question - after installing the new belt, do I loosen the belt tensioner to spring out and apply tension and then tighten it or leave it loose? I would think tightening it would prevent it from adjusting to take up slack as the belt wears and stretches.
Thanks in advance!
