I have not installed this Belt. It was bought as an extra. I have under-drive Pulleys on the Engine, so the Engine does not use the stock EOM size. However, previous Belts on this Truck and others have been Gates and they are excellent Belts. Highly recommended. Thank you!
I bought this belt strictly on price to have as a spare in case the original failed. I did not install it. I inspected it carefully, and it everything about it says that I would install it on the car when I have a need. If I did install it, I would keep a close eye on it, as I would with any new part, and have a spare handy, but everything about it that I can see with the naked eye says it is a high quality belt.
