what gatorback belt to use for the 3.0?
 
just like the topic says. my belt has been squeaking nonstop for a week or two. my belt has always been squeaky when its wet out, but ever since i cleaned my engine compartment and used engine dressing, the squealing has gone off the charts. i've tried silicone belt spray and it gets rid of the squeak, but only for a day or two.

what gatorback belt should i use on my 3.0? i dont have any pulley modifications, so it would just be a stock replacement.

i cant think of the number, but just go to an autoparts store and tell them 3.0l with airconditioning and theyll find it, thats all i did...

Buyer beware: I went and bought a gatorback last winter, only to find out the part # was correct for my engine, but was 1.5" longer than the one I pulled off, the stock one. I found the correct one....it helps to have an extra belt to compare to.

I didn't have any problems going to autozone and having the guy look it up in the computer for me for my 3.0L. It was $30 well spent. It never squeaks.

I think it's the one that ends in 885 (88.5" length). I may be wrong but I THINK the full part number is 4060885 -- but that's from memory. Search and you'll find the answer -- it's on here somewhere.

close john... its 4060882 ;o)

and it fixed the squeal woot woot!!

Oops! Sorry, told you it was from memory! Very good. They're excellent belts.

Yep autozone has the 3.0 belt listed for the 4.0 application too..
I called their corp. headquarters and *****ed about it.

Hate to bring this old topic back up but I have a 94 3.0 and the part number list 4060895 w/ A/C. So this is wrong? Its really smaller the 4060882? Thanks alot guys,

Travis
