Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Today I went to go pick up the Pug wheels from the marketplace... when I stopped to get some Ice cream (so hot today) I noticed something funny under the car. One of my $15 NAPA belts was stuck in my skid plate. It got all munched up somehow. It wasnt broken, but had stretched badly somehow. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"> Lifetime warranty my arse Oh ya, they were ABOUT a year old. I assume everyone will agree with me on this... I should take back the one GOOD belt and the bad one (purchased at the exact same time) and get 2 new ones from them. Thats my plan right now because I can complain to them about them being identical and when 1 goes the other cant be far behind. Looks like I am driving the BRAT tomorrow :cool: For reference my car has the dual belts that go Crank, WP, Alt, PS so I wasnt stranded anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baccaruda Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 would there be any advantage to converting to the XT's single belt drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I would NEVER do that.... Its the double belt design that kept me from being stranded. The double pully alternators are getting hard to find too. Every new one I have bought only has a single (had to convert mine for my 87) I probably lose a bit in HP, but the added reliablility and fail safe design (or pretty close) make it worth it.

Guest Flowmastered87GL Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I hate napa... They said there was no warranty on the belts (I swear they are lying) Since I was scared to only replace one belt... I figured get 2 new ones. $13 each?? Ummm no. Autozone had them for $4.50 each Thinking back I shoulda gone to schucks and got em for $4 each or whatever their low price guarantee would make them cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
