belt whine

[bah]

well my belt is whining, and i have come to the conclusion it is the belt because baby powder on the belt solves the problem for a little while, what brand belt do you reccommend?

Re: belt whine

i beleive that most belts are the same but alot of the car shows like to use a goodyear gatorback belt, you could also try using a can of belt condisioner. but it would probably be just as easy to replace the belt.

Re: belt whine

HA, i tried belt dressing and it made it worse, come to find out you dont use belt dressing on serpentine belts

Re: belt whine

Just replace it. all belts are practically the same, since you aren't doing any heavy racing. I'd say go with the gatorback myself

Re: belt whine

I've heard of MORE problems with noise than not with the Gatorback when I searched here.

Gates are good. I'm running a cheaper Korean-made one [you know how the parts stores have the choice of the expensive or the cheap belt]. Since the belt is so easy to change on our cars, I figured the cheap one was worth a shot.

yeah, it has a gatorback now, i think i'll just get a good non gatorback and see how it goes, idk, there are just so many things that i want to do, including buying a waverunner, god so much things to buy, so little money :(

Re: belt whine

I put on a $35 Dayco belt from advanced auto. No problems or belt whine. Got Dayco belts on my 69 as well.
