    well first off it's not a fan belt its an accessory belt but we know what you mean.

    you can take the belt off and spin all the pulleys by hand and check for binding. spin the water pump too.
    inspect and replace any plastic pulleys with metal ones. those bastards will melt and leave you stranded.

    Sorry, yeah I meant Serpentine/Accessory belt. I found a quality aftermarket Continental belt for $40 that I'm gonna put on as it's pretty cheap so I'll do as you say and check the pulleys by hand while I do it. But the plastic pulleys really will melt? Gets that hot there?
