    I was checking random stuff on my truck today and I found a snapped belt just crumpled up resting on the skid plate. OOOPS! :eek: It looks like I've been driving it like this for months from the amount of mud/dirt on the empty pulley's. I'll be replacing it asap, but is it ok for me to keep driving in the mean time? I'm assuming so, but I'm curious as to why I haven't really seen any effects of this broken belt.

    On the belt it says: DENSO 91840-D8708 BANDO 4PK870 >CR<

    Looking down to the 3 wheels it's supposed to be on:

    Not sure. I was hoping someone on here knew. :eek: It sounds like it could be the AC belt though.
    Hmmm... this sounds like it could be the same thing. My AC doesn't really work either. lol
    haha No problem, man. If it is the AC belt, I'm assuming it's fine....
