2016 F3 LTD belt vibration

[papanorm]

Hello y'all. I have the common belt vibes within the 62 to 68 mph range. I bought sockets, wrenches, Krikit II, etc. gauge to reduce belt tension which reads about 210# off the ground. That is the highest tension of the recommended range. I decided to let the dealer check it because of such little clearance between the muffler and the axle bolt I wouldn't be able to use my socket without moving the muffler. I'll post results of dealer visit and belt adjust.

Just had my dealer do this. Made a big difference IMHO. Have no idea what he set it at. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Here are my comments on my dealer visit to adjust the drive belt on my F3 L: When I set the appointment, I was told I could wait for it and it would take about 15 minutes. Well, about three hours later I had to go find the shop manager to ask if it was finished. I am very patient man, but that s ridiculous. I heard they are short staffed. The belt was adjusted and it feels much smoother. However, when I checked, the right axle cap stuck out about 3/4 inch. I couldn't seat it because the mechanic replaced the cotter pin with one too big. Fortunately, I had the right size and replaced it myself. i really hope the service here improves.
