Fan belts that is!

I am getting to re-install the freash rebuild and want to replace all 4 belts but have heard that some are crap. I had a cheapo flip and shread on me, not worth the savings!

Brands, part numbers and cost....if you got

I've heard that the Goodyear Gatorback belts are good?

I've had great luck with Dayco belts - Pep Boys has 'em. One of the few belts that you can run one belt for alternator/water pump and not have it slip on you .

I've yet to try Goodyear, but I've heard good things. Whatever junk Autozone carries isn't worth it.

I use rolex! They're the only way to fly. They are part # 24kgld666. They will outlast anything out there and add a ton of power.

Well, I located a place that carries Goodyear Gatorbacks, going to give them a try.

The only other belts I could find were Gates. No Dayco available locally.
