How to check serpentine belt wear
Hi all,
I stumbled on a couple useful little things that I thought you'd all appreciate.
These are a couple videos that explain how modern serpentine belts wear differently than the earlier neoprene ones. This is important since detecting when a belt is near the end of its life is different for both.
First video with description of how belts show their wear:
Page with second video on how to check wear using the latest (free) tool from Gates: How to Check Serpentine Belts for Wear | Gates Corporation
On the second page is a link that will direct you to where you can request a free tool for checking belt wear.
Hope this is useful to people.
