Terry Sayther has the "Dayco" for $26.99. Is this the same as the Goodyear?

The ribbing is a different pattern on the Gatorback.

What belt part number should be used for a 15% and 3% pulley combo? If not the part number, what length should I look for? Thanks for the help

I'm curious as to what caused your pulley/belt problems.

Did it just come loose for no reason? Did you try and make adjustments to it or something after it was installed?? Whats the dealy yo?

Are you sure? I thought I saw NAPA belts in the pile of parts to be installed. There must be some lettering still on the belt.
I going to start a thread over in Beneath the Bonnet with info on Dayco and Goodyear belts.

Did you replace your belt yet?

DSM, Did NAPA get you a Goodyear Gatorback belt? or something else.
Please post belt description and part numbers.

Yes the belt is on there, Thanks to GreatBear For lending me his Tensioner tool . I ended up goin down to the dealer and gettin a belt from them also for a spare belt. But i ended up saving the napa belt for the spare since it looked a little bit thicker. Part number of the napa belt is 25-060547. And no its not a Gatorback belt its just a Napa belt.
