It skips to maintain proper tension and alignment. That's how it's designed. Under heavy braking, it 'will' skip. The amount of braking you seem to be desiring for what this Truck is for, is beyond me. I'm not being an ass saying that, I just don't see it. I honestly don't even use the brake, letting off the power is enough to make my backend light enough to whip it around a corner. I use the brake in emergencies only.

I dont mind the belt skipping because it acts as a kind of one way (clicker)but not fully. The thing thats been giving me trouble and Im sure others is there is not much room for error in the belt adjustment. It has to be set on the looser side or it will come off under brakes. Very easy to get it wrong.
I had it set one day and it was fine. Drove it the next day (colder weather) and the tension was slightly tighter on it own and the belt came off in a flash.
