belt raffle - larsalan - 09-04-2012

Broke one of the 2 belts for my alternator today. Any guesses how long the other will last?
I might put another on there cause it's all squeaky now. But I might not cause I'm super lazy.
1wk? 1mo? 6mo?

There are 2 on there so that you have a backup when the first one dies. I'd just grab another one, and put it on. Don't want to risk overheating.

I have one next to the spare tire Wink
but we see if I get it on b4 the other pops Wink

and shouldnt over heat anyhow, right Wink The belt to the fan is still good. ANd i have one of those in the trunk too Wink

If the fan/water pump belt lets loose the coolant will stop circulating, and it will overheat even if you're on the highway
