I just heard that Autozone no longer carries gatorback belts! WTF! I need one on Friday when I replace my idler pulley. Anyone know of anyone else who stocks them? I really only have an Autozone, Advance Auto Parts and some locally owned stores around here.

 

Yeah, Autozone quit carrying Gatorback belts about 3-4 months ago, They switched over Dayco as their premium belt now. Hell they even changed all their hoses over to Dayco, i think they just stopped carrying Goodyear products.


I work there btw...lol.

 

Goodyear pissed off the CEO of Autozone because they wouldnt warranty their products. We switched over to Dayco belts and hoses because you actually get a 1 yr warranty with them instead of no warranty with Goodyear belts or hoses. Personally I dot like the belts though and I work there.

 

where can you get them then? order directly from goodyear or try and find other sources?

 

thats too bad because dayco sucks. ive had there belts on everything from my truck to my snowmobile to machines at work and they never hold up as well as OEM or goodyear. i guess i will buy my gatorback belts somewhere else.

 

I think Advance still carries them, thats where I got my last one... could always call up the local store if you don't feel like driving out just to check.

 

summit has them

 

What's everyone's boner about with the Gatorbacks?

 

x2 i didn't notice any difference when i got my pulleys on
