[QUOTE=lowbucktrucks;820981...Aftermarket belt drive systems cost as much or more than crate motors!
What are the pros and cons of using a factory system over v belts??...[/QUOTE]

Went to the corner store today, (to get more beer) and when I went to start my engine, the fan belt let out one horrible scream! (for about a quarter second) and after that it started charging the system and cooling the water mix.

I have a new spare fanbelt next to the gas tank behind the seat, and if I ever need to replace it, it will run about 6 bucks at the parts store.
