It was 1/4" steel and not aluminum. My system was dual V belts and no slipping, unlike my serpentine belt that used to slip at 4000 rpm and above. I was noticing lots of black rubber dust around the front of the engine. The double V belts solved all that. Buly On Oct 8, 2007, at 12:35 AM, cbeazley wrote: > Hi Scott; > I have one of these.
