So I ordered an SLP UDP. Marylandspeed and just about every other website that sells them lists the belts needed as
Pontiac G8/GXP
Main Belt: 6PK1880 or Equivalent
Accessory Belt: 4PK1080 or Equivalent
So I ordered all the belts ahead of time. I get my UDP and belts in the mail and the instructions for the pulley says the belts are
Pontiac G8
Main Belt: 6pk1860 or Equivalent
Accessory Belt: 4PK1050 or Equivalent
First the accessory belt I ordered wan't even close to fitting and sagged bad lol. Had to go to a part store and closest belt I could find to fit was a 4PK1054. Seemed to be spot on.
The Main belt I bought based on what Maryland speed posted is about one inch smaller than the one listed in SLP's instructions that came in the pulley box.
I installed the belt marylandspeed said anyway and it seemed to work fine, but I don't know if having a belt that is possibly too small will cause issues, and what warning signs should I look for?
I haven't retuned the car because I heard it wasn't neccisary, but occasionally it bogs for a second if I quickly jump on the gas since the install. Also my lights do visibly dim at idle although I heard that this is not an issue on the G8. I can see the lights brighten as I go from idle to just a slight bit of gas. My atari battery indicator only drops a single bar occasionally. Some times it drops to halfway if I am sitting in really awful traffic.
Thanks for any and all feed back!
