Every one says use the Goodyear Gatorback but I couldn't find one, so I used one from "Geno's". Seems to be OK and does not chirp. I had 74000 on the original.

autozone out here in AZ can get the Gatorback special ordered for about $26.



when I ordered mine, the wrong one can in so it's in the tool box ready when the OEM belt is to be replaced. I accepted the non-Gatorback as I was heading out on the hwy's and did not want to not have a spare.

I got my gaterback from Carparts.com, but since JCwitney bought them the prices have been the same as the local dealers, not worth paying the frieght. I thought Geno's sold the Gaterback also? I would have bought it from them but I had an order in with Carparts.com so I added it to the list to save on shipping

Geno's

I needed a spare belt, so I ordered the one Geno's had. It is a DAYCO Poly Cog Gold Label. Looks like a quality product, and I'm tempted to put it on and use the origional as a spare. Not realy a fan belt expert, never hear of the gatorback.

While I was muzzling the KDP, I sent my wife out to buy a belt. The original was off, so I figured I'd put on a new one and keep the OEM as a spare. She brought home a NAPA belt. So far, so good. Very quiet, but so was the OEM. I evidently have a non-chirping truck.
