Message	that's what happened to me shortly after I tightened my belt a little too tight (and it was a brand new water pump) if the ribs on the belt are looking a little thin or dried/cracked you should just change the belt, the belt relies on a mixture of tension and surface area (rib width) to sustain traction on the pulleys. *disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to in-politely tell me how wrong I am :) "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
