Vortec MAX Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Stay away from DAYCO! I have had problems with every DAYCO belt I have ever put on. Get a GATES brand. They are 100 times better than a DAYCO! I have no experience with gatorback. Is that a GOODYEAR brand? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 i use both gatorback and gates , i cant tell a difference between the too except the pattern on the gatorback. I dont know but i have shredded both of them from the belt flying off. but thats a whole other story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 oh well it doesn't whistle with the stock belt on so it couldn't be anything other than the belt. its not real loud so i can live with it. i guess i'll have to hurry up and get a supercharger so i'll hear a different whine. thanks Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkSilvySS Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hey Wody, how much did you give for your Big Mouth grill? Also do you have any good pics of the truck with it? I can't get "Your Vehicle's" to work, I get a URL error... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 i've used gates and gatorback as well. my gates liked to slip and caused a ton of belt dust. i now just stick with gatorback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
