Gatorback Belt for 02 Ranger Edge...
882 is the right one. I'm about to buy another -- I just had a belt go bad on the way home. Of course it was POURING rain and the trucks still dirty from the weekend run. Too much fun. But it's only a 15 minute job to change it so I was scarcely even late.
I need a reminder as to what benefits a Gatorback belt offers. I am still on my original serpentine belt with 84K miles on it and it still looks good. I was planning to replace it sometime this year with an equivalent. I will consider Gatorback if it has an advantage.
The gatorback has more grip with the limited contact on those areas. My 3.0 started squealing belts everytime it rained until I got the gatorback.
4.0's don't have the problem 3.0's have. Many 3.0's wear the belts out prematurely because the path is crap and doesn't give enough contact with some of the pulleys.

Maybe it's not the belt then in your case. The idler pulleys also squeak in the rain on some trucks. In my case it was the belt and it solved it.
