I'm at 33k miles on my 06 MCSa. Time to think about changing the belt, if only for peace of mind. I've heard good things about the Goodyear Gator belt, can anyone give me a part# for use with a 15% pulley? Other options are certainly welcome.
i use the gates 535 for the 15%, works very well (no slippage). With a 537 i had a bit of slippage after the belt had stretched after 10k miles or so...
I'm not familiar with those numbers.
The Gatorback belt I use is 4060537. 53.75 inches 6 Ribs.
Picked it up at Autozone.
While the 537 works, as shown below, it doesn't work as well as it could. Jan has been recommending the smaller belts for a tighter fit (no slippage).
