Belts

[nab911]

Alright, belts in the sticky make no sense. Where are those part numbers for? I have been to advanced auto parts twice to get belts and at least this time i have one thats right... i think. It a vbelt and instead of following the grooves on the pully's it just has little notches that sit on top. But either way i have it tight and now i have power steering. But where can i get the right belts (if that one doesnt work) that will fit? And i dont want to pay 20 dollars a belt . Thanks guys!

top sticky #'s are for generic (I think Bando? parts code looks right) brand belts, most parts places should be able to x-ref to whatever they carry since the part code indicates the # of grooves and length of belt (in mm in the case of the part #'s in the sticky; OTOH some manuf's like Gates use inches).

lower it has OE part #'s, and it says you can use AC belt for PS.. well, kinda. its not the same length but close, I guess in theory you can tighten it enough.. its like a 5 mm length difference, so its not the end of the world.

for the sticky generic part#'s if you look at the last #'s (i.e. alternator part # 4pk855) that means its 4 ribs x 855mm length, I think. I'm certain on the length, I'm not sure if the # is grooves or ribs.. so with that info you can go to any parts store and say I need a X-rib belt of Y length and let them find it in whatever brand they stock.
