Tips from Delco: What to Keep in Your Vehicle

First Aid Kit

If you put your own emergency car kit together, make sure none of the items are in glass bottles or vials—put them in plastic containers with tight lids instead.

Use the suggested items below to build your own first-aid kit:

• Absorbent compress dressings
• Adhesive bandages (assorted sizes)
• Adhesive cloth tape
• Antibiotic ointment packets
• Antiseptic wipe packets
• Packets of aspirin
• Blanket (space blanket)
• Breathing barrier (with one-way valve)
• Instant cold compress
• Pair of non-latex gloves
• Hydrocortisone ointment packets
• Scissors
• Roller bandage
• Sterile gauze pads
• Oral thermometer (non-mercury/non-glass)
• Triangular bandages
• Tweezers
• First-aid instruction booklet

Vehicle Tool Kit

A good vehicle tool kit includes:

• Screwdrivers—Phillips and flat head
• Pliers
• Set of good socket wrenches
• Duct tape
• Electrical wire tape
• Electrical wire spray
• Flashlight with extra batteries
• Small fire extinguisher
• Jumper cables

Make sure there's a jack and a lug wrench in the vehicle and that the spare tire (if equipped with spare) is inflated to its proper pressure. See owner's manual for recommended tire pressure numbers.

Tensioners

OE Form, Fit and Function. That’s what a Gatorback® Belt Tensioning System is designed to match, so you can be sure it will install – and perform – as well as the OE tensioner. Plus our Gatorback line is engineered for approximately 80% of the world’s vehicles so you can count on great coverage.

The primary advantages of a well-designed automatic belt tensioning system are:

• Maintains its correct alignment to the belt
• Automatically maintains correct accessory belt tension
• Automatically dampens normal accessory system vibrations
• Eliminates need to adjust / re-tension belts
• Prevents belt slip (noise / excessive belt wear)
• Optimizes belt life

Goodyear Air Springs

Bellows air springs have one, two or three convolutions in the flexible member. There are two styles of bellows:

• crimped design
• sleeve type

With the crimped design, the end retainers are permanently attached by mechanically crimping the retainer around the built-in bead wire of the flexible member.

Sleeve type bellows offer similar characteristics to the crimped design bellows, but, as with the sleeve type rolling lobe the flexible member is constructed without internally molded bead wires. The end retainers are permanently attached by pinching the flexible member between the end retainers and external crimp rings which are then swaged to the proper diameter.

Sleeve type bellows offer the lowest force to compress of any type of air spring.

• Lift springs for lift axles on trucks and trailers
• Ride springs for trucks and trailers
• Actuators and isolators for industrial applications
