Three options: reduce alternator output...no. Serpentine retrofit kit. Yes, but at $500 I would like to spend tht elsewhere. Third option is buying a better quality belt for the QM series. Read much online, but would like opinions of folks who may have same configuration. Thanks in advance. David F. Risch, J. D.
