Belt Shredding Edelbrock
Anyone have belt issues with an Edelbrock E-Force?
I have gone thru 3 belts since March 2016. Just over 12K on SC about 45K on car. Twice shredded a belt driving thru a parking lot barley off idle. Last one shredded at high rpm and damaged my hood. The belt has never broken. It gets off track and shreds a couple ribs off. Alignment is good on all pulleys the idler spied in the kit has a slight wobble. But not very bad. Edelbrock just sent me a new idler and a new belt. Still working on a replacement hood. I tied a search but for some reason my phone is not allowing me to do so. |

TJ Hunt had issues with his system. From memory I think the idler pulley was at fault and belt size due to changed pulley size.
Check that idler pulley! Have you spoken to Edelbrock directly? |

Same time of install and same mileage, but no issues at all on the belt. What lifetime are the belts expected to have?

I keep this spare in the trunk which IIRC an Edelbrock rep linked me to either in one of the threads or PM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I find Google more useful to search this site. Example of what to type in Google search bar: edelbrock belt site:ft86club.com Which yields: https://www.google.com/search?q=edel...obile&ie=UTF-8 In one of the results I see you need a different belt part number if you have a different sized pulley.

Always have a spare around...you'll need it eventually, and with the spare around you don't have to wait for an order to be shipped or track one down at a parts store
