When to change Poly-V Belt?
Wondering how long to go before changing the V Belt. My other diesels kind of ate them up pretty fast.( 20,000). Anyone?

jimbo,
I don't think there's a change frequency -- you just need to inspect it periodically, then judge if it needs to be changed. The ususal stuff to look for: cracks, fraying of the cord material, foreign material embedded in the ribs, etc. Finding any of these things is enough reason to have it changed.
