[QUOTE="Ferendon, post: 3380331, member: 578259"] A dull or shiny belt is something to be noticed by a trained eye, with the experience to make that comparison. Here's what I'd do... Get some STP Belt Dressing... and a buddy. Have him gradually get on the gas until the light comes on. Spray a few quick spurts of belt dressing on the belt, and see if the light goes off. You should notice an ever-so-slight drop in RPMs when it grabs hold of the pulleys. If that doesn't work, take it down to idle, and repeat. Also, a failing belt will usually squeal when you hit the gas quickly. Might also try a few drops of water on it while it's running to see if it will squeal. [/QUOTE]
