so after changing two of my belts today, (3 hours of shitty painstaking work later) this is what i get when i take my old belts off

after 86k miles i think it was good to replace the factory ones






i dont know about you, but i dont like my belts looking like my cat got hungry for rubber

 

mine looked like that when after i used to commute to work 30 miles one way per day. it's surprising how much those belts still function and don't slip all that much in that state!!

pour some carbon cleaner in there from time to time later on the second quarter. it'll help grip the belts and stop squeaking.

 

yea, they squealed like crazy

i only replaced two because advance told me we only had two, so now i have to pull the first two belts off on friday and put the new 3rd one on

i will keep in mind you advice there though

 

um wow, lightweight belts, never that about that sort of weight reduction.

cute pussy, shave it and i'll be right over.

 

haha, i think i will keep her how she is, im not much for the shaved tongue.gif jk

 

I want to know exactally what type of a belt that is so that I may install it on my car next. Seriously, that must be a good belt. My belts always break before the tread wears off on the pully side.

One time I had an alternator belt snap on me. I drove 1 mile home on my battery alone with no alternator!

I've never even seen that before. OMG I'm in love with your belt.

 

Should've went to a dealer ... I wanted to buy a belt the other day and checked the prices just for fun : Car Part = $12.99 Dealer = $9

Anyway that belt needed to be replaced like 20k miles ago! lollll

 

sorry DTN, i dont know the brand, i can go pull it out of the garbage tomorrow though and check, but it was really really crappy

jalmir- the nearest dealership is like 100 miles away from me which = $26 not worth it, otherwise i would probably go and ask them, even though they dont know crap about it
