Link belts stretching?

John, I never said serpentine belts were inferiour to V-belts. On the contrary, I prefer serpentines to any other type.

OTOH, I feel your pain on the aftermarket/port installed A/Cs. I have had to repair hundreds.

No, he was asking if it was normal for link belts to stretch over time.

Jim

so, couldn't he conclude that by looking at his belt? If it was stretched, he could safely conclude that link belts stretch over time...sigh.

No, he could conclude that *his* link belt had stretched over time. I believe he wanted to know if that is typical behavior for *all* link belts, or if it's peculiar to his.

How could he? He can only inspect one belt.

sigh... I forgot you are a mind reader too! :)

John, I have 4 link belts on various machines for the past year or so. None have changed length that I can measure.
