I know y'all are tired of boring questions like this, but I'm broke and can't afford to get my XJ serviced right now, so give me a hand if you can.
I have a 96 4.0L 5 speed w/160k miles. (I ONLY PAID $1700 FOR!!). She's in great shape except for one thing: the A/C works fine and dandy, but for whatever reason, when it's on and I give it some gas, the serpentine belt screams like a banshee! When I turn the A/C off and give it gas- no sound.
The Chilton manual I bought has images of where to adjust the belt, but it looks nothing like mine. I know I'm supposed to loosen some bolts, adjust the tensioner, then tighten the bolts back up, but I can't see anywhere bolts to loosen. Do I just adjust the tensioner? (I tried and it didn't help).
