Snapped the AC belt on our way home last week. Luckily it didn't push off the alternator/fan belt so we carried on.
I'd always had a little voice in my head about how the AC belt sat in its pulleys. Too low I reckoned.
A great friend of mine in the auto parts biz did some research and reminded me that old Mopars used different width belts depending on load requirements.
So I ordered a 1 inch longer belt the next width up and here we are.
Now this is not a factory AC setup. For our younger readers it is/was called "dealer air". Even so the crank pulley, idler, and compressor all use the wider belt.
Who knew? Probably me at some point in the foggy past, but not lately.
Thanks Ed!
