Miguels Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I had to change mine within 6 months of use. It's like 3,624 miles. Could have been 4 k but it needed replacement even before that Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I just replaced mine when I swapped the singer to the mechman. It was not long ago and I'm already close to needing one. I went 1.2 inches shorter and helped get more out of it but it's starting to shirp under heavy acceleration when shifting into gear Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) first one even at 3/4 inch shorter it would slip a bit.. second one is all good unless i floor the throttle at 1.2 inches shorter. i dont know how you drive your truck but try giving it more throttle an see if it slips mine did it a month after replacing it.. if i drive normal im good its when i floor it..

Kyblack76 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) idk why you go through belts so quickMy thoughts, exactly guess were doing it wrong...... EDIT- ive never LOST a belt, but, when your 700 miles away from home..... one way..... well, shit. If it shows wear, squeaks, ... well shit. And some of us make a bit more amperage, run hot under hood. Then again, maybe im doing it all wrong....I also made my own dual bracket. It isnt "perfect". So, i just take some extra precautions...... just me Edited October 14, 2015 by Kyblack76 Quote SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 The only time I get squeal from my 1" shorter belt is if the tach is maxed out. Which I've only done a couple times. But that's only 4 months old now. So we'll see Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
