Gatorback belt on 17%.. Life span?
I have had the gatorback belt on my car (17% pulley) for like 15k miles and I can barely see the hole on the tensioner, which surprised me (I don't track the car, occasional red-lining) I don't hear any pig squeels or anything unusual.. how do you exactly feel / hear the sc belt slipping / strectching??
Are the lifespan of the gatorback belts shorter than NAPA belts? Thank you in advance. |

Gatorback belt
When I installed my 15% pulley, I was told by Randy Webb that I should see at least one hole on the tensioner. In my case, the hole was not showing, so I installed a shorter belt which corrected the situation. I later installed a 2% crank pulley and ended up changing the belt again. I find the gatorbacks very quiet and I change them every 20k for peace of mind.
Hope this helps.... See you on Friday.... |
Ah thank you for the replies.
I was thinking about picking up NAPA this time but o well, gatorback is cheaper :lol: I will change it over the weekend just to be sure |
