oops, thought I posted this a few hours ago... must have forgot the send button
anyway, changed my belt today, 2240 miles, first change, and it looked great.... one small dip in it on one side, and about 1/8" less width (than a new belt)
2 things
1. how much difference do you think that 1/8" will make in power and speed..
(just went for a ride, and can see a noticeable difference on low end was in low most of the time just breaking in belt)
2. while changing the belt, I turned the engine over slightly and it would not start after belt was installed, just kept bumping it back by hand and trying to start, and finally it took right off, just something to watch for when you do yours.
