more 5kcstq alternator problems

conti's work great.. i'll second that..
and i have had good luck with the Gates Belts as well..
and if you buy Gates @ O'reily's they have a lifetime warranty..
so if you keep the receipt you're all set..
(never had to take one back though) knock on wood..
the gates are actually made in mm's instead of inches like your
standard belts @ you chain stores...
as well as the Conti's..

HTH!
rich
'86 4kq..

BTW, i've flung a few of those belts from chain stores from hitting large 
puddles...
never again... just buy the good belts unless it's an emergency..
