Gatorback belt?
I was told a lot of you guys run the Goodyear Gatorback belt, I did some mods to the tranny in my Super Duty and now the belt cherps like crazy on shifts. Will the Gatorback belt take the cherp out of the shifts and where do you find on for a good price? Thanks guys, i'll try not to highjack your forum any more, although I do wish I had a Lightning myself!

It should help, or you could use a Dayco Polycog belt. Just don't use Gates.

While the chirp may be annoying, the belt slipping is relieving the accesories from the sudden change of speed.
