Thanks for all the info. I'll get a belt and give it a try. - actually I'll
get my hubby a belt and let HIM give it a try.......... even if we end up
having to change something else, I'm sure replacing the belt is a good thing
since none of those belts have been changed in a long time and they are most
likely a little dried out.

As for the console - I'll try doing that. Removing screws and things like that
I can usually do. I just don't mess with engine stuff.
