CUM-ISC Lost second belt, stuck along freeway...driveable?

[Chet18013]

Chet, I think a better process is to carry new belt as a spare not one you took off because you felt it was not reliable. Why go through the trouble replacing a belt with one that will have to be replaced because it is not reliable enough to leave on. Just saying.

If I replace the 3 year old belt before it needs it, I will have a working belt to use until I can get a new one. I'd rater always put the new one on when I get it, then there is less chance of a failure during it's 3 year use period. All the used belt is saved for is a spare to get me moving until I can get another new one.

I do the same as Chet - I replace old belts as preventive maintenance and keep the most recent oldie as an emergency spare. Yeah, I might have to do the belt change twice if I do get a premature failure, but with PM the odds are I won't ever have to deal with that.  I also prefer not to have a new belt hanging around for (hopefully) years while waiting to be needed. By the time I actually need it, it too may be aged and nearing the end of its useful life. All rubber products age...

sowhat?  I simply walked into the local dealer and bought it off the shelf for 35.oo  and it was a fleetguard which is much better quality than dayco will ever be

 

[Rene T]

They had it shipped right to there home.

I would rather have Fleetguard belt over a Dayco  any day and for a lousy $5.00 more

do you scour this forum just looking to make rediculous statement,s as the one you just made? just to cause trouble?

 

[Rene T]

I totally agree with RLsharp. It wasn't a ridiculous statement.
I was wrong on the price of the belt. They paid $14.42 and you paid $35.00, I guess that makes it worthwhile. Don't you think so buchana?
