Hi all,
I want to get the europarts serpentine belt kit to have in the truck while on the road, along with some other parts and supplies, and I've noticed there are two "types" of kits europarts offers.
Type 1:Contains serpentine belt, original Litens belt tensioner assembly and both small idler rollers
Type 2:This kit has one larger ribbed idler and one small smooth idler. We have added this kit at the request of several customers who wish to use the smaller and smooth upper pulley and the larger ribbed lower pulley
I emailed europarts and the response was something along the lines of "Order whichever one you prefer".
Now if theres one thing i've learned about sprinter parts, its about buying what MB "prefers" (read: demands, or catastrophic failure will result!), and i doubt the reason people buy it is because it looks cool. It must serve SOME function!
Could the larger lower pulley be used for people who are running the version of the serp belt that is a teeny tiny bit longer?
Thanks!
