Hi there,
I'm an actor, not a car guy so I'm kind of clueless.
I bought my first Jeep about 6 months ago - 2000 Cherokee 4.0
It's been running great but this summer it started to squeel when I turned on the AC. So I took it to my friend who's a GM guy (oops) and he tightened the serpentine belt. He said he didn't know what tension it should be and he hoped it wasn't to tight! I got in it and drove it home and now it runs very rough especialy at idle. It acts like the engine is lugged ?(is that a word)? and like it's going to die when at a stoplight.
What's the correct tension?
help....... :-(
