Review on Gates K061000HD FleetRunner Micro-V Serpentine 🔀 Drive Belt: Superior Performance for Fleet Vehicles by David Ross

This is a good sturdy belt available in 100 and 1/2 inch sizes. I didn't measure it before installing it, but I measured an old belt with wear cracks and it was 100 inches. So the new belt should be 1/2 inch longer. But when I tried putting a new belt on the idler, it just wouldn't work. It was too narrow to pull out every available inch. I was a little upset to say the least. Then I thought maybe I could tilt the A/C compressor just enough by loosening it to get the extra inch needed to mount the new belt onto the idler pulley. It worked! And now we're back in business.
