Question Seat Belt

The seat belt tensioner (drivers side) has less power and the belt doesn’t retract as it should be, does anyone have had this problem?, and how can pull the tensioner for check the mechanism and how can I fix it? Any write up about that, step by step?
I tried in the search tool but no dice.

Thanks in advance.




In another question: for daily driving, without anything in the bed, or pulling, what is the safe pressure for the front and rear tires to the best confort ride?

Hi Jose, to your first I have no answer
For your second question depending on what size of tires your running I normally had them 55 front 50 rear with the 285 75 16.

The size of the tires are 235/85 16
I was thinking in 45 front and 50 rear

Hey there Jose. Been awhile! I'm no help on the tensioner, but if you need a second source for a replacement I can send you mine since I'll be doing 5 point harnesses. Of all the things I've had to fiddle with on these trucks, I've never had to bother with the seat belt tensioner.
