Subject:      After-market Alt. belts?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hi guys,
Not ready to categorically state that I have solved my belt wearing problem
(I still
am waiting on my two-piece alt. pulley to arrive) but after buying a belt
from the
dealership (Conttitech brand) I can see a noticeable difference.  The
Conttitech
belt is not as thick so it rides closer to flush on the main driveshaft
pulley, and as
a result it does not appear to be rubbing ;-)  This may mean my problem is
solved!
Question:  Has anyone else had problems w/ aftermarket alt. belts?  If so,
which
kind?  I have been through Goodyear Gatorback, Gates, Continental, etc.
Thanks for any input.
