Time for new drive belt??
While checking fluids I checked the drive belt and the ribbed side has small lines like cracks across them. Is this a sign to change or are the lines normally there. I have 45,000 on the engine. Appreciate any input.

Thanks Sharky. I picked one up at NAPA and changed it. I figure the 15 minutes it took was worth it for the peace of mind. I would probably lose hours of time if it broke on the road. :)

Yup should change em when they get like that --and if they are not too bad --save the old one and keep it with you --might save your butt if something freaky happens.
