    Default Belt Tensioner

    I would like to know how effective a Belt Tensioner is if I put one on my 2015 RT. This is my second RT and I know that there is always some vibration with that length of belt. After my 3000 mile service the belt tension has been change and the vibration is much worse. I going to take it back to get it corrected. I would like to know what experience anyone has had with the Smoothspyder Belt Tensiloner.

    Made a huge difference for me. Really knocks down the belt vibration.

    Big improvement. You can still feel "something" at the right speed but it's way better. Drive at any speed you want with it..

    Just had one installed a few weeks ago; there's still a slight vibration, but it's more evened out. I like it this way more than the stronger vibration at the higher speeds.

    I had one on my 2013 RT Limited and installed it on my 2014 RT Limited when I bought it. It helped quite a bit and I never had a problem. I sold it to a member on here and now it's on a 2016 RT Limited.

    I say buy one, you won't be disappointed.
