A little off subject but I replaced my belt with a lifetime one from AutoZone. I cant seem to keep it tight very long. I get it tight then a few days later it will scream when I start it cold. Not sure if the belt is stretching or the bolt losening up. Think I will try to put some marks to tell. Have aftermarket belts had problems?

I hate it when people derail threads with off-topic questions, but Autozone belts are junk. I made the mistake of using one on Crashy2 when I reinstalled her A/C, and I have had to tighten it three times since the installation.
