Default FYI don't trust AUTOZONE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM TO TELL YOU WHAT PART # U NEED!!!!

For those that haven't read my previous post about my accessory belt...here it is. I went to autozone to buy a new accessory belt and had the person at the counter plug in my car info and get me the right belt. Went home and put it on and the car was squeeking a LOT...and it didn't do that before....so I bought and put on belt dressing which made it worse. So I took the belt off and compared it to my old one (which I should've done in the first place, I know) and what do you know its longer....the new one that is. I was ticked so I put on a my old belt and like a moron sprayed it with belt dressing cause I already had the bottle....it started squeaking so I had to take it off clean the belt and pulleys ahhh what a pain in the @$$!!! Moral of the story double check w/e parts you get from autozone before putting them on!

Always smart to do a little research before you buy/modify. When I replaced my plugs in my Cobra, the plugs AM gave me looked alot different than the ones that I pulled from my car. So I looked everywhere making sure they were right, even checking the plug number itself. Turns out they were right, even though they looked different...
