Anyone seen any detailed explanation on how they work? I'm wondering what
would happen if the belt failed. Would I still be able to drive it? Do they
"run" all the time or are they engaged/disengaged?

I am pretty sure they run all the time. It probably would run w/o the
belt but not very well. I would stay away from it if I were you. They
are unreliable, eat gas and don't seem to make it any faster than the
competiter's trucks. My Crew Cab 4x4 is normally aspirated and is in
need of power, but I am happy to live with it as I love everything else
about the truck and it gets 19 to 20 mpg.

Too late. Already have one. It runs all the time in that it is turning but I
don't know what's going on inside. Great truck by the way.
