What is the best serpentine belt for a 2005? I was looking for a gatorback but it appears that they have been re-branded as Continental Elite. The problem is I cannot find the part number. Their site is very vague. I just want a quiet belt. I am not having any issues at present, it has been a while since I changed belts. I have 105k on the truck, should I change the pulleys as well? Any suggestions.

I would recommend changing the tensioner at minimum, I wouldn't say the rest of the pulley's need changing. Someone more knowledgeable might though. Gates belts are very poplular in the car audio world, where most of us run multiple high output alts and need a durable belt with zero slip.

Just my two cents.
