My car hit 75k miles last night, and I have not even changed the stock belt yet! I'm sure it needs to be changed real shortly, just have the new belt in the garage. I'm seeing signs of detoriation on the ridges inside of the old belt.

Time for a new belt and tires

 

my car had 73, 74, or 75k miles when i parked it a while back (forgot the exact number)
i pulled the belt off, and it still had plenty of life in it
bought a new one anyway for the hell of it though
I couldnt believe the freaking $40 price tag at NAPA

 

56,557 on mine. When is it supposed to be replaced. 60,000 right???

 

Mine lasted to 50,000.

 

Hell i'm even on the stock wiper blades at 76,580k now

 

damn!
i can say that is amazing

 

The passgener side wiper blade seperated from the base rubber at 78k.
Changed the stock belt at 78k too cuz it was making a squeaking noise.

 

I'm at 90K miles on my stock belt!

 

my girlfriends lasted 65K, just changed it last week

 

Wow, mine was full of cracks with less than 24,000. I changed it just as a precaution.

 

Changed mine at 95000. Didn't change the A/C one until 115000, still got something squeeking.

 

mine is cracked pretty bad. with 103k on it not a good thing

 

i changed both of mine within the last couple of months ive got 67k on the odo as we speak.

 

$40 for a belt ooch ! You can get @Autozone for about $18.00

 

I changed mine at about 70,000 miles just for precaution. IIRC mine cost me about $30-$40 at Auto Zone. I couldn't believe it either. I think it was a GoodYear belt.

 

Jeez I don't know why they're making the LS1 belts expensive.

My bro works at a local auto parts store and when i asked him to get me a new belt for my car, he told me it'd be about $60 bucks for it. The next day he charged me a @cost price of $15 bucks. I think he was looking at a different brand. I would prefer the Daytona belt (that's the stock belt on mine) rather than the **** brand name with "made in North Korea" print on it...

 

I have used search, have not found anything on it.

Can someone explain the best place to take the tension off to change the belts? Is there a writeup anywhere?

Thanks

 

Might be the tensioner pulley.

 

I have 102k on my stock belt..
You guys are nuts for 60 bucks...
I work at an autoparts store and a Gates belt(best in the biz probaly) its 22 bucks

lemme know if you want me to get you guys some

 

132K here on my 2000........... ( stock belt)
