I'm getting a little belt squeak and I've only got 20k on the odo. Just

Tom,
I left mine on for almost 70,000 miles. I decided to replace it when doing a
pre-fourwheelin weekend checkup, I noticed there were a fairly large amount
of cracks on the belt and figured that a busted belt would ruin a fun
weekend. Very easy job to do. I bought a 'Lifetime Warranty Belt' at a local
smaller parts store for $60. The squeak might indicate the need to tighten
the belt tensioner.
