:iagree: plus regular non-gatorback belts will start to get small cracks in them almost immediately because as they spin they get both forwards and backwards. I read on Alldata that small cracks are no reason for concern because of the flexing,. The only way I could see a belt cracking so soon to the point of having to be replaced is if you live in a desert environment where it is hot and dry and gets cod at night.
