I've been on a search for a belt that lasts...
what manufacture of belt are you guys seeing any life out of?

FYI...i see about 35-50 out of blower drive services belts. Some cheap junk I used in a pinch from amazon lasted 25. the blower shop belt went for 85.

I use Jones Belts also. Over 250 runs, on a 192 blower. How tight are you running the belt?

Make sure you check it after a run.

Yup. Set it loose, warm the car up and adjust if needed. Then I’ll check after the first pass on the new belt and check it periodically when I jump out after a run.

Unfortunately jones doesn’t carry a belt length i can run with my setup
