Re: How to find or where to buy alternator belt

The 7520 belt riding high in the alternator pulley as shown in the picture above had to be fixed. That pulley was from my last alternator, which was a cheap Chinese 12SI that only lasted 1 year. I transferred the pulley and fan onto the Delco Remy USA CS144 alternator because that alternator came with a serpentine pulley. The V-belt pulley was probably intended for 3/8" belts. To solve the problem I bought a new deep groove pully and fan set.

Now the new wide belt does not fill the groove. I did not expect it to because it is a deep groove pulley. It sure is nice.

The new belt fills the groove on the engine and water pump. Looks nice there as well. No more squealing.

And finally, I bought a used Ingersoll Rand Impactool. I've always wanted one of these and didn't pull the trigger until now.
