I use DAYCO belts. I don't know of any other actually. Hell I'm about to just convert my pullies into sprocket and belt into chain. Bet it won't snap then.

Yeah... then you'll just shred your crank into pieces when an accessory seizes... :rolleyes: :D

LOL Don't know why but that made me laugh!!
 
Make sure your accessories turn freely, and that they have no shaft play.
Check pulley alignment, you may have a bent bracket.
Make sure the belt's tension is correct.

If everything is correct, you shouldn't have a problem even running with cheap-o belts.
 
I have some Goodyear Gatorbacks for mine. My return line to the oil pan was in the way of the bracket, so I just have a straight belt from the crank to the power steering. Check if you have the right groove belt for your pulleys. I belive they are 5 groove.
 
DAYCOs have worked fine for me...

By the way, I think 14" fans are too large; I've heard, but not tested, that 12" fans are the largest possible size.
