Need to put a mechanical gauge on it and duplicate the condition.

My guess would be pressure relief valve hanging if it really is dropping.

Once the pressure dropped to 20 the red light chimed in. If I held the break and pushed the gas the pressure came back up.
Let put this into perspective.....
1. It only chewed up one belt because the automatic tensioner provided in the kit broke which was no ones fault but tensioners manufacture .. We replaced it free of charge ... You just had to pay my cost on the tensioner and belt... No charge for pulling the blower and bracket
2. It does not eat belts anymore we have established that there is just something chirping on the drivers side of the acessory drive system unrelated to us or the blower bracket ....
3. I also noticed that your crank pulling is wallbling which may cause belt chirp as well...
4. I am sorry we were un able to get to the car earlier this week we have alot of work in the shop and we are a two man show (looking for another tech) but like we spoke earlier tonight I will personally fix the issues tomorrow free of charge both parts and labor regardless of our fault or not.....

Default update

To give everyone an update i was given some information by another party that was not correct. This is a small industry and I believe that companies may exaggerate some information about others maybe to take heat off them. Ryne has been the guy who has donated a ton of time. Thanks for the personal call and making things right Ryne. He is a guy who takes pride in his work. MY apologies for jumping to conclusions!
