Belts, etc.

I bought belts and a thermostat at the Donzi dealership yesterday. Wasn't ready for the sticker shock ($49.00 for a belt?):eek!: Is there any reason I shouldn't use regular automotive belts? I don't mind paying more if I need to, but if I don't have to, then I'll be able to give another six pack a good home. :beer: Also, time to put the drive back on. Last year I got excellent advice on winterizing. Can I get the same for un-winterizing...uh, summerizing. :smile:

you can use the belts from the auto store - no difference if not the same

$49 for a serpantine belt is cheap. The last one I bought for my Vette was around $90.

$49 would be cheap for a serpentine belt, but I've got v-belts.

34.00 dollars at Napa for the serpantine belt for a 496 ho... Put it on around 50 hours ago... Holdin up strong...!!

i always get em at the auto parts store just take the old belt and they can cross reference the number. i wrote the gates numbers for them in my service manual so i have them for future reference.

Heck, I even bought the belt for my procharger from the auto parts store when they sent me the wrong size. They told me that there was no difference.
