Read recently that cracks in the belt are normal and no cause for concern or replacement. I believe it was in the GM Service manual.

I'd always thought that they were bad, like in using non serpentine belts with crack, but GM says don't bother yourself about it.

I did the same as you, bought a new belt, then some months later came across the info.
