PROBLEM DRIVES
The Belt is the Sympton.....NOT the Cause
What causes belt noise? Misalignments and Slippage cause belt noise.

MITSUBISHI - DRIVE BELT NOISE:
Some 2006 3.7L Raider pickups may produce a chirping sound from the drive belt. Mitsubishi says the noise is most obvious when the vehicle is moving slowly with the steering wheel at full lock, and is most likely the result of the drive belt slipping on the alternator pulley. Installing an upgraded alternator pulley with a built-in overrunning clutch should prevent further slippage and eliminate the chirping noise.

MAZDA - DRIVE BELT NOISE:
1993 – 2005 Mazda Miata and Protégé have drive belt pulleys that are designed with deeper grooves than the standard SAE specified pulley. Many times this will cause belt noise from the replacement belts (OE and aftermarket) because the pulley is re-profiling or reshaping the belt during initial run-in. Dayco has re engineered this part number with additional layers of material along with increasing the rib depth from .080 to .100 inches.
Replace with Dayco #5040350
