So about a year ago I had my alternator replaced under warranty, and they had to replace my belt as well, but didn't have any in stock so they brought one in from an outside source. Well last summer I had a set of Focus central pullies installed (two piece, retaining factory belt) And from day one the belt squeeled with the pullies. The mechanic said it was likely a coating on the pullies that just needed to wear off. Well the noise remained, and we figured I might need to go to a slightly smaller belt. I dealt with the squeeling for awhile, but not too long ago I finally got around to picking up a smaller belt and installed. It was an extremely tight fit, and got me thinking it's too small. So today I searched around on the internet, found the one i just put on is the next smaller belt, but the numbers on the belt ford put on don't match what the stock replacement belt should be. Should I go back to the dealer and try and get the proper belt? They charged me $80 for this belt, I bought the smaller one from the same place they brought it in from (Lordco) and only cost me $36. I've never left the dealership without feeling ripped off, and now I'm possibly finding out more problems that have already happened.
