Last week I installed a new Goodyear Gator belt on my 98 GMC Jimmy. I did this not only because it was looking like a new one was needed but I wanted get any repairs out of the way before I had rotator cuff surgey. I replaced it the day before surgery and it started to make belt squeal . It did it went I turned the wheel. I thought it was the power streeing pump but did not have time to mess with it.
Today I took it to a shop because I can not do anything with my arm for a couple months. They charged me $44.00 to install a new belt. I was told Goodyear belts are having problems with that. I took the belt back to Autozone and they too said allot have come back with squeal problems. I did get a full refund but still had to pay for someone else to install it.
