I'll be needing a new fan belt soon. What brand do you like & where is the least expensive place to buy it?

Thanks!

 

I like my goodyear "gatorback" can get them at Autozone or prob any other auto store. Like them better than the generic brands and have a unique look to the groves themselves. Gonna cost you another couple bucks over the cheap-o's

What rob said. Stick with motorcrafts or the gatorback. I personally like the gatorbacks too

 

3X Gatorback

 

X4 on the gatorback. And I've also had good luck w gates too

 

While on the topic...where do you guys get tensioner pulleys from??

 

X5 on Gatorback, I use it .

 

Ha ha ha ha ha.... Great topic.. I am heading to the parts store tonight for one.. Timing is perfect! Thanks!

 

Gates on mine.

I'd also get a Gates tensioner If yours has any significant run time on it or the back edge of the belt is starting to wear.

Those 'online codes' can save you up to 40% at advance, if you have one close and they stock what you want.

 

Did you get your gates tensioner at advance also? The only one I can find on there site is a Dayco and it says "light duty".

 

Gates - 38119 - tensioner.....came from rockauto, using the 5% code.

 

Thanks, just put my order in

 

x6........

 

Don't forget the FleetRunner / HD line of Gates. Most don't realize this is available in the light duty vehicles. This belt is completely green on the backside.

 

x7 on the Gatorback Belts. I've used them pretty much exclusively whenever I have the choice. Never been disappointed.
