Yeah, I don't know. My truck (2001, Ram, 1500, 5.2) probably had 100,000+ on it before I had to change a belt. I've tried several belts (that ALL sucked), and found an AC Delco (of all brands) that has lasted a few years. However, it seems it's time a gain. Belt is beginning to squeal for a minute or so if the truck sits for more than 12ish hours. AM fm .. ever try Gates ?

Not sure which grade, so some may be better than others. The AC Delco has a "lifetime warranty." It lasted longer than expected, but I'm all ears for a better one.
