You're talking about the serpentine belt right?   Christian Cartner (Cartner) Member Username: Cartner Post Number: 68 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 06:35 pm:    Yep, thats THE ONE...Awesome...I REALLY didn't want to order one and wait and pay through the wazoo again...   Jonathan Hensel (Nanoscale) Member Username: Nanoscale Post Number: 45 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 07:26 pm:    My buddy's cheapie disintegrated on him. I ordered the real deal when it came time for me to decide, based solely on his experience.   Christian Cartner (Cartner) Member Username: Cartner Post Number: 69 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 10:48 am:    I'm pretty sure they are the same manufacturer...anyone know for sure?   Leslie N.

Bright (Leslie) Senior Member Username: Leslie Post Number: 2069 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 12:27 pm:    But why pay $25 to RN and then wait on it to ship to you when instead you can go into NAPA and get the same Dayco belt for $18, and not have wait on it to get to you? -L   Christian Cartner (Cartner) Member Username: Cartner Post Number: 70 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 12:35 pm:    my point exactly leslie.....   D. Chapman (1hank1) Member Username: 1hank1 Post Number: 133 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, April 18, 2003 - 02:08 pm:    Does anyone have a NAPA Part number? I called NAPA and they told me thay did not have a listing for a Discovery. They did not have a listing on tie rod ends either. I also called Fishers, AutoZone, and Advance. No luck.   Leslie N.

I'll have to look later to verify...
