You got a tensioner, follow your belt coming off the crank pulley on your girl friends side. The first thing it goes around is the tensioner.
Install the appropriate tool to the tensioner bolt and rotate the tensioner clockwise to relieve the tension on the drive belt. You should have a belt routing diagram on the radiator cover. If ya need a new tensioner pm me I got one, didn't use the stock one with the Maggie install.
