Hi All
    On Friday I got a whiff of Coolant while driving. Looked at my temp
gauge and it was pegged hot.  Never noticed it was getting hot until I
smelled it.   I found that the Belt was missing, It has less than 2000
miles on it and it was a Gates 7430 green stripe. Suppose to be a really
good belt.  A couple of weeks ago, the belt was loose so I tightened it.
Last week it was loose again. Tightened it.  The Altenator didn't move,
so my only guess is the belt stretched, perhaps it was defective.

Anyone experience this?    Does anyone know of some sort of buzzer that
will sound in the event the engine starts overheating?

THnx
Pat
