High-Performance Gates K080991 Micro-V 🔩 Serpentine Drive Belt for Improved Efficiency Review

This is a great replacement, I believe it is the same as the belt that was on the truck and the truck has done 120,000 miles. So if it lasts as long as the last one, I'll never have to change it again.

Easy to fit by looking at the visible marking next to the bonnet latch, which is clearly visible when the bonnet is open. Watch a YouTube video of this process if you haven't already.

I've been using Gates belts for over 50 years, trust them on all my cars, this one fits my 2001 Ford F150 5.4 liter perfectly -Crew cab with 242,000 miles , not the first belt for this truck, there have been several, this time both the belt tensioner assembly and the drive pulley were changed, preventative maintenance as I see it.

Came very quickly, paid for the night. Fits perfectly. Works about a week in 100 degree weather. Works perfectly. Incredibly easy to put on. Only a 1/2 drive ratchet is required. It takes about 15 minutes per person. You don't have to remove any parts from the car. Installation is mostly from below.

After watching some YT videos I was convinced it was a 5 minute job. Well, not exactly 5 minutes in my truck, but that's not the belt's fault. The distance between my fan blades and the 1/2" belt tensioner hole for the wrench can't be more than 3/4", making this almost impossible. to put the key in place. I finally managed to insert the wrench about halfway into the hole and then use the tube I attached to the end of the wrench as leverage. Being careful not to pinch my fingers in pinch points,
