I have a 3.2" pulley and the Goodyear Gatorback 4080745 belt which have been on my car for a few months. The belt is showing some light cracks on the inner grooves. I don't like the look of the cracks and am going to change the belt. After reading a little on the different brands readily available around my area, I saw this description about Dayco belts and how they allow controlled slippage under certain shock conditions. http://www.daycoproducts.com/daycoweb.nsf/Product_Poly_Cog?OpenForm
This sounds scarey. I don't want my belt to slip when I ask for extra boost. Is anyone using Dayco belts and have you ever experienced the controlled slippage?
I've gone to my local Napa store and looked at the 080475 Napa belt which is made by Gates. It looks interesting and I am considering buying it. Any comments are welcome.
