TIP OF THE DAY: DRIVE BELTS

TIP OF THE DAY: On most newer vehicles there is one belt that drives multiple items, such as your alternator and power steering pump and air conditioner compressor. This belt is commonly referred to as the serpentine belt. One can understand that if this belt fails, these items will not operate anymore. So make sure that the belt is in good shape, and not cracked and ready to break. A belt that snaps at high RPM can do a lot of damage.
