Went to Culver Indiana, home of Culver Military Academy, for their annual Lakefest parade.
Really great bunch of people from the VFW welcomed us & fed us too!
Attached pictures are some of our vehicles.
I'll follow up with pictures of other MVs in parade.
Thanks DH.
The belts I got from Memphis (Dayco #22395) are 39.5" effective length. Your NAPA 24414 is 41.5".
Two inches is a BIG difference!
I'll call Memphis tomorrow.
Yes, fan bracket assembly adjustment appears to be all the way out. Or at least as far as it will go.
Water pump belt is fine, once I read the manual & figured out how to adjust it!
Can you estimate the deflection on your fan belts?
I found the interchange list for the Dayco fan belts as supplied by Memphis. The Car Quest & NAPA numbers you show should be correct.
But I've never seen belts that are so tight. Seems like too much tension would be tough on the fan bearings. Have you had any problems with fan bearings?
Got a full set of belts from Memphis. Other belts are okay, but the fan belts are just too darn short. I finally got them on, but they're way too tight even without any slack adjustment. I'm afraid I'll destroy the fan bearings. The adjustment bolt is all the way out.
