I'd expect that Borgson quick ratio box to put more load on the pump so the extra force being put on the belt seems reasonable. If you have the habit of turning the wheel a lot sitting still, this is gonna make it worse.
Without any info on the belt, I can't say any more.
Tnx TMM. I think the OP said that was the PN but no info on brand. They could be be Chinese-O brand belts. Seen cheap belts fail over and over.#15445 Dayco or Gates
AC Belts are fine. Just the one going around the water pump, Power steering pump and crank.
Just to test, pull the fan off just to see what happens. Watch the temp gauge close though or install your old fan so you don't overheat.I have it tightened to about 1/4" play. It is pretty snug. It takes about 4 or 5 times to absolutely trash the belt. This really started after using Synthetic Fluid and the 7 blade fan.
Thanks for the question. So my boy is driving it right now. It is only when he getting into it that this is an issue. If he drives it normal the belt is fine, no slipping through the entire RPM range.
Good thing you tested it and found the issue.Just to test, pull the fan off just to see what happens. Watch the temp gauge close though or install your old fan so you don't overheat.
