Installed a new set of slides then smoked them in 300 miles. I know the
Track was probably to tight. Can anyone give me some pointers on track tension for stock track with 144 studs. I guess I was affraid that the track would come off the back
 

Mine droops about 1.75 to 2 inches when the back of the sled is suspended. But thats just me too. Maxdlx
 
i like to tighten it enough until there's about a one inch gab between the bottom of the slider and the track when im pulling down slightly on the center of the track..... then i loosen it off a touch....ive also known some guys who prefer it less tight and loosen the track off until it starts to rachet on the cogs and then tighten up a touch from ther....
 
Loosen until it ratchets then tighten up a little at a time until it stops. each sled and track will be a little different.
 
Thanks for the help. What about with studs do I half to worry about the
track comming off the back running it that loose???
