Usually, the difference comes about 20-30$ for the bunch stuff I purchase which I rather pay than driving across the border.


Anyways, tell me how you like the dayco belt. I've not heard good things about them on the forum. I went with a Goodyear gator back instead, and has been great.

I will certainly let you know how I like the dayco belt. I too read about them on the forum, of course, only after I had purchased. I do like the sound of the Gatorback belts. When I went to test drive the 'new' 08 Yaris, the seller said that the belt squesks when the engine is started. He also said that he sprayed belt dressing on it. He found out afterwards that belt dressing is a no-no on serpentine belts. So, I did experience the squealing - quite bad actually. After about 30 seconds it stops. I'm bringing the Dayco belt, brake cleaner and stiff bristle brush when I pick up car and will change it in the driveway before departing.

I also found this interesting video on youtube about the Yaris and belt squeaking...
