Belt tension, model number

[JohnS_Rosamond]

Easy one first. Where doi I find the model number? Like B5A , ABAA or whatever? I looked at the recall information posted by Lamonster and in the belt tension section they use some wierd Gizmo that senses harmonic vibration to measure belt tension. No way. I can't use belt deflection? That stinks. Are these devices very expensive? Probably. Also, on the rear belt, it states that every time you loosen the rear axle, you must reposition the ABS sensor. Is there a slot to move it in? Anyway, I am not concerned about the belt just yet, but that is one of the things that I would like to do myself. Any info would be appreciated. I have a shop manual coming.

The model number is on the VIN# plate, to the left of the VIN#. I wouldn't worry about the ABS sensor. A Kricket belt gauge from NAPA works for the tension, once you establish a baseline reading. A quarter turn when the belt is grabbed in the middle is also a good indicator of the correct tension.

Okay. I have a belt tension gauge like the Kicket. Thanks for the reply.
