Please disregard my post about cleaning the sullies - I was thinking V belts - DOH!

I asked my dealer how they evaluated accessory belts for wear - they do not evaluate them, they just change them on their maintenance schedule.

The new EPDM belts DO NOT crack, they just wear out like tire treads do.

Gates Belts make a gauge to check the grooves for wear. I got a couple for free from Gates (I put my son-in-laws name on a second request so he could get one.

I go to a small general repair garage to get my State Vehicle inspections and they have a Gates Belts display that explains how the gauges work.

Gates tells usl that worn accessory belts slip long before they squeal.
