Yeah... don't be afraid to install - these belts are cake to change.

I think this is the right diagram for a non-pi engine. Someone cuss me out if I'm wrong...



Seriously... I've changed belts on a lot of different engines - Mustang GT is the easiest so far.

... I hope your joking.

I know how to change it out. I'm asking, what is a good brand, any to look out for and what to stay away from? but I don't want to be spending more than needed.

Aw, that sucks. Mine is doing just fine after a couple years and 20+ thousand miles. (I think that's the one I got)


But yeah, replacing the cerp. belt is simple.
