Replaced the belt on my 96 XLT SP. Now when stoped and idling, the belt squeeks/squeels like crazy. What is this indicitive of? Does it just need to be broken in? I put about 70 miles on the new belt and it still sounds the same.

Had that problem, not all belts for the same sled are exactly identical.
Mine still did it after a couple of hundred miles, sometimes it crept at idle.
I had to add shims the secondary clutch, between the sheaves.
It's a quick job for a shop or friend with the experience and tools.

Your '96 should not need to be shimmed, that is for the older clutches. Yours will have 3 bolts and a plate on the secondary around the center bolt. To adjust, loosen the 3 bolts and rotate the plate a little tighten them and then run it.

Thanks ACEXLT. I'll give that a try.
What does this actually do? Bring the sheaves closer together?

Actually on the P-85 clutches rotating the dial one way will keep the sheaves apart, in effect adding to the deflection, The other way will bring them close together, Making the belt ride farther out on the clutch. Good luck.Think snow.

So I want to rotate the outermost sheave to tighten the gap and make the belt tighter, correct?
Thanks for the info.

Just the opposite, At idle you don't want the belt to contact the sheave too tightly. The rpms will make the clutch close and grab the belt. The squealing you hear is the belt slipping on the clutch, too much pressure to glide, not enough to move. Also be sure that you clutch moves freely on the jackshaft.
