brought my car in for an oil change (way overdue) and apparently my serpentine belt needs to be replaced - it sounds kind of important so i'm having them replace it.


It is.  Mine broke and caused all kinds of problems in my engine.  Not good.

Yup. That runs the water pump, alternator, a/c stuff. Not good for anyone if it snaps.

the guy explained all that to me and said he could replace it for $90 so i figured i'd do that rather than wait till i'm driving to DC tomorrow and end up stranded on I95

That's a decent price, too. Belts are usually about $35-40, and a half-hour to remove & replace, if you have to remove the fan or anything else in the way.

i have a celica and find that everything is set up so that other things are in the way for any kind of work that needs to be done.  i have friends that would prob do the work cheaper, but not the time to get the car to them and get worked on.

Not bad at all. 

When mine broke, it damaged the alternator, so the total repair was like $700.

mr2tony - 2009-09-17 12:38 PM One of my friends was a loadmaster on the Spectre. He said its kinda badass. The F16 is still the neatoist plane around.


A-10 Warthog for me.
Before Grisson AFB got downsized, It was an everyday thing to see a pair of A-10's no more than a thousnad feet off the ground. Our farm was in the Grissom traffic pattern.
We also had alot of KR-135 re-fueler traffic as well.

LOL! Don't you wish you could hop over the counter, grab her by the arm, lead her over to the toaster, and say,
"See this"? "This is a toaster"!

"Put this in there and don't take it out until it's golden brown and then put butter on it OK.!
