fan belt life
« on: May 31, 2008, 08:59:14 PM »
I have researched fan belts and ran across this picture. My question is how much cracking is too much? I have 66k miles on my 2001 TJ 2.5L belt, assuming it has never been changed. How long do they usually last?

My belt seems to just have the vertical cracks, no horizontal ones by the way...

Well, if you're worried then you can replace it.  Belts are cheap.  Their life really depends on a lot of stuff.  If you see a LOT of cracks, tears or chunking, then it's time to replace.
