That's total B$, but I can't say that I'm shocked seeing another Allmakes part that is a POS :poop:
They use the cheapest Made in China type vendors and slap the Allmakes name on it = NO THANKS! If you want a belt that will last get a GATES. I've used Gates Belts on ALL my cars/trucks for years with zero issues. And a headsup if you don't want to order one online, you can get Gates Belts at any NAPA. They use Gates as their "private label" brand ( part numbers will start NBH...). |
I had an issue with the serpentine belt after 300 miles. I left negative feedback on Amazon and will never purchase allmakes product again

You have to be careful. Terrafirma /all makes is hit/miss with quality. Suspension stuff ships with no hardware and the rubber items don’t fit well. If the parts hold fluid or are a safety concern- there are other vendors that better quality than the China sourced stuff. Often times the real OEM stuff is on sale and is a better fit when installed. Keep shopping and find the price and quality that works for you. |
For belts, serpentine, V belt, timing belts, etc.
use DAYCO. They aren't even expensive. |
Last belt was a goodyear gatorback which i have never had issues with, on lr3 it shreded in under 100 miles and left us stranded

^ Sounds like a bad install. No belt should fail that quick unless it was ridding on a pulley wrong.

Also running the Dayco. Haven't had any issues. I ordered mine from Rovers North, but also noticed the last time I was at Advanced Auto Parts that they have the exact same one.
