From what you said, CTScott, I find the dayco belt could quiet possibly be glazed because I did have about 25 minutes of solid driving with it squealing on and off. I'll look into the Gates belt. Now I've also read on different boards of Gatorbacks being highly recommended. Any pro/cons on the two brands?

I tried the gatorback once on my supercharged Yaris and found that it was more prone to stretching then the gates or bando belts. Gates makes NAPA's branded belts, so that is often an easy place to track down a gates.
