not sure how to prove it .exept what would be my reason be to come on here and lie about a stupid belt. when eveything else is still original air con. water pump idealer pully exhuast . i did put a clutch in it at 400.000 ,because my throw out bearing took a ****. clutch plates still looked like new
but i replaced everything while i was in there .front wheel bearing's been replaced twice still has the original u joint's that is even hard for me to believe, replaced brake's 5 times ,went thru 10 set's of tire's
call me a lier i do not care. i no what it is and i am amazed ... oh i forgot the battery got tired of crackin last winter after 450,000 miles my belt is not cracked or freid look's like new still or i would change it out . propley should carry a new one just in case it breaks
