is there such thing as a performance drivebelt?

 

nope......just go get a Motorcraft belt......i have had the gatorback's and they are not all they are cracked up to be.

 

thats right GATORBACK, thats the one ive heard of. what makes them special? why didnt you like it?

 

Thought Jusnes might have a writeup...but it just says, "best engine belt on the market now!" heh

Gatorbacks rock if you have a crapload of horsepower OR you have a belt squealing problem.

 

I like the gatorback belts, they use a superior rubber and a notched rib design, helps to reduce slippage from moisture, etc. I use the gatorback on all of my vehicles, but, any good quality belt would make a good replacement. If youre looking for the best, its the gatorback

 

hey bob....you all got the tranny coolers yet?

 

i put the gatorback on, the one made for the 4.0, and it was too big...by about 1.5 inches....i have to take it back, to see if i can find a shorter one

 

If you got it at autozone its because their system still lists the same belt
for the 3.0 and 4.0 engines...

 

it says on the back it fits a 4.0L ....thats why i tried putting it on anyway, and it didnt work out well

another note: i also got a fan removal tool from AZ and it said it fit 1990 and up 4.0L....ended up taking it back because it didnt fit, and got the tool for a 4.9L ford motor....it only came with two tools (as oppose to a whole bunch of adapters), and worked PERFECTLY!!!!
