Why is it important to have belts and hoses replaced periodically?

If a drivebelt or radiator coolant hose fails while driving, you won’t be able to continue driving — and additional engine damage may occur if the engine overheats.

How long do belts and hoses typically last?

Lifespans of belts and hoses vary based on factors including the climate and driving habits, but generally a drivebelt (also known as a serpentine belt) lasts about 50,000-100,00 miles, while radiator coolant hoses can last about five years.

What are signs the drivebelt needs replacement?

A worn drivebelt can slip while the engine is running, causing high-pitched squealing or chirping sounds. Additionally, it can show cracks and fraying around the edges or a glazed (shiny) appearance. They’re signs it’s time to change the belt.

What about the tensioner pulley?

The tensioner pulley complements the drivebelt and is also subject to wear and possible replacement. Signs it may need replacement include squealing sounds or, if the bearing is failing, a grinding sound while the engine is running.

What are signs of a failing radiator hose?

A worn or failing radiator coolant hose often develops cracks that lead to leaks. Evidence for that includes drips or puddles beneath the radiator or engine, along with the odor of coolant. The engine may also overheat.

Description

Its fiber loaded rubber stock puts more flexibility along the length of the belt, yet gives the belt greater lateral stability in the pulley
Has thermally active tensile cords that provide maintenance free performance when properly installed and tensioned
Manufactured with form ground to ensure precise top width and sidewall dimensional control for proper fit in the pulley as well as a smoother, quieter running belt

ACDelco Professional, premium aftermarket V-Belts serve as replacement belts for today’s most demanding engine drives. Due to thermal forces, these variable notched belts actually tighten on the drive as they get hot. This results in improved belt performance by reducing tension, decay, and noise. These premium aftermarket replacement v-belts are manufactured to meet your expectations for fit, form, and function. Review: Good quality, good price. - I used this as the water pump drive belt on my big block 1967 Corvette. Chevrolet didn't make this belt easy to replace as the pulleys and the fan need to be removed but this belt fits perfect. Some people "roll" the water pump belt onto the pulleys but this can damage the belt so I don't recommend doing this. Review: Good quality - Good belt wrong application. Ordered belt for hydraulic pump and got alternator belt. Saving to put on alternator.
