Re: Main Drive Belt Jumping Groove
I think I ordered mine from Vortech, since the problem was in large part due to the Blower and an effect called "reflected inertia" (when the engine speed changes suddenly, all the spinning accessories have inertia that must be overcome by the belt. The blower adds a *lot* of inertia to the system. The effect on the belt is as if those accessories continue to "push" the belt faster than the motor wants the belt to be moving and that causes the belt to stretch and go slack on the tensioner side of the loop). But if I recall, it's a "Gates" manufactured belt, it ought to be available other places besides Vortech (the Vortech belt routing is radically different from OEM, but Vortech had the courtesy to keep the same overall belt length as stock).
