skittlesRgood Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 how much smaller of a belt do i need to get for my HO alt? i never had a problem with it slipping but after some fun in the mud it started to scream lol. anyways, i thought i remembered some one saying to just go .5" smaller to counteract the smaller pully but i just wanted to make sure. the length of my belt is 88.6", 6 ribs, i think .82" wide. 06 buick rendezvous cxl 3.5L if anyone wants to look it up. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

newls1 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 your stock belt is a GATES PART # K060888..... So that would be 88.8" long. Walk into a part store, pick up what looks to be a somewhat smart person (Good luck) and ask what the next step DOWN IN SIZE WOULD BE. I'm thinking a GATES PART # k060882, but that is a little more then a 1/2 loss. There might be a "LESSER" loss belt... I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 ok, i went out and got a k060878. the package on the k060888 said it was just over 89". the 878 is 88 3/8". it was hard to reach everything with all the 1/0 wire in the way but it was actualy one of the easiest things ive changed on my car. the belt isnt slipping anymore, not that i can hear anyway, so im happy. wonder if my voltage will be a little better now too. thanks newls, you helped me pick the right one.
