Hi Billy,
Thanks for the great belt info. Since our belts are 12.5" wide at the top, how does this relate to the suggestion to buy a belt where a 10mm socket will not fit over but a 11mm will? Wouldn't that make such belts too narrow?

I bought a set of belts off the above listed place. They showed up at three different times, from three different locations, in three different packages, so be ready for this. All three fit properly as noted in Bdub's drawing. I have reasonable tension on the alternator, 1/2" to 1" of give in the longest run. I ran the battery nearly flat trying to crank the coach on a non-functioning fuel pump. When I corrected the problem and spun it off, it charged between 40 and 60 Amps for nearly five minutes before tapering. No slips, no squeals, no flopping under load. I got a second set for spares, but I don't think I'll need them anytime soon.

A bad belt is only 9.5 mm wide so take an open end wrench with you and measure. If it fits across the belt then the belt is the wrong width.
