Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The tensioner performs two job functions: maintaining the correct belt tension throughout its duty cycle and dampening the impulses from the engine as each cylinder fires. This means that the tensioner not only ensures that the belt remains properly tensioned but also helps to reduce vibrations and shocks caused by the engine firing. Therefore, the statement is true.

The most damaging thing that can happen to an alternator is a slipping belt.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

An alternator relies on the engine's power to generate electricity. The belt connects the alternator to the engine, allowing it to rotate and generate electricity. If the belt slips or becomes loose, the alternator won't be able to spin at the correct speed, resulting in reduced or no electricity being produced. This can lead to a loss of power to the vehicle's electrical components and a drained battery. Therefore, a slipping belt is indeed the most damaging thing that can happen to an alternator.
