So I got my belt the other day from my local parts store. The guy across the street comes over to give me a hand because I can't get the tensioner out of the way and remove the belt at the same time.

I take the old belt and the new belt and stretch them out between my arms hooked on my thumbs and I think ... ok close enough. Well I got it on but is was soooooo tight.

So masterminds and gurus ...... do I leave it or spend more money and buy the right one? It seems to work fine but will the extra tension blow out the idler and or tensioner pulleys?

Where was this thread at 10 am yesterday :duh:

Gatorback belts are recommended, and the part number you need is 4060915. Part # 4060905 is the shorter belt used on the EXT and XL vehicles.

Feel free to argue with the parts folks if they claim their data base has different info. Many of the parts chains DO have bad data in their computers for this particular part. Trailvoy knows better. :tiphat

That's the belt (4060915) I put on my truck. It was a very tight fit and I'm glad I had some help. I'm also glad Bill has all those numbers rolling around in his computer! :hail:
