After losing a rib on a brand new belt back in November I swapped it for an older belt just in case the alignment wasn't right. When that one didn't shred I left it as it was since I wasn't up to tearing it apart again for the umpteen time. Now that the weather is heating up again I'm noticing a slight, intermittent chirping noise from the belt. I guess I'll have to put up on jacks tonight and take a look see but I'm thinking that its time to replace the belt.
