I have had one on my Hoe for almost 3 years. Thats the only brand belt I'll put on my vehicles. Unless someone comes out with a better one, hah.

I've had mine for a lil over a year now and haven't had any issues. This one was my first gatorback and I doubt I would use another brand belt again.

I'm not sure but if you find out that it's # 4060922 then I have one that's brand new I can sell you. I bought the wrong one a few months back and it was too short.

I swapped to the Gatorback belts about 2.5 years ago. I replaced my water pump a year ago and did not replace the belts because they still looked brand new. Then fast forward to May of this year. My AC compressor went out. The compressor had the all too common slugging issue and was locking up, so much in fact that it broke the AC belt tensioner, but the Gatorback belt was fine. I tried replacing the tensioner thinking that was my only issue. But I ended up destroying 2 more belt tensioners before I realized it was actually the compressor. Breaking two more tensioner still didn't faze the belt one bit. So even with a brand new compressor and belt tensioner, I have a 2 and a half year old belt on it. Lol! But even still, the belts still look and perform like new. Worth every penny IMO.

Gatorbacks from goodyear are excellent belt. However the material that belts are made of now allow them to run several hundred thousand miles. so you should not have to replace it.

I've used Gatorback on two on my GM's (Sierra and Tahoe) and I had decent results on my Sierra (5.0L), but after 3-4 months and 1k miles the Gatorback began to sequel on the Tahoe (5.7L). I had the second belt checked and it seemed a bit loose, maybe I stretched it out or got a bad one, I have no idea.
