","text":"It was tight it came off while we where on the Freeway we pulled into a TA got coffee just came from Kentucky and after 20 mins down the Road the Temp light came on so I’m like What’s this so I popped the hood and noticed the fan wasn’t turning and the Belt was off so the  mechanic said it had a bad tensioner on it    ","replyToPid":240041}
