Default Dayco... not so good....

I went to the dealer a while ago and had them change the belt for me when I had the belt light shut off. They put a dayco on and said it was the best belt made and they could not have been any further from the truth. The belt is cracked, and really loose and has some, but not tons of hours and miles on it. Anyway what should I get for a belt. I have found carlisle, OEM, or dayco. I dont think I will get a dayco, so maybe OEM is the best shot. Any suggestions are welcome... thanks

OEM is the only way to go. Even top dog drag racers use them on the V.
They also say what you found out about the Dayco.

Yeah... carlisle seems a bit "offbrand", and dayco does what you said it does. OEM seems to be pretty good on alot of things.

OEM has seemed to be the best untill recently. now dayco has a belt that they worked with highlifter to develop that is made of kevlar. go to highlifter to buy. I've heard nothing but good about it from some professional boggers with built engines, so I'm shure it will hold up to a KFX anyday.
