Goodyear Gatorback Belt??
Hello everyone, ive got an 01 Jimmy with the 4.3l and since i bought the truck about a year and a half ago ive had problems with serpentine belt noise. Ive used dayco and gates belts and both have worn out quickly and started squeaking after about 6 months.
Ive replaced the alternator, idler pulley, tensioner nothings fixed it yet. Ive looked into other things like pulley misalignment and that doesnt seem to be a factor either.
Recently i was suggested to use a goodyear gatorback belt, which i know isnt available in any local shops by me so i looked on amazon and there i saw about 50 reviews for the gatorback belt, and about 1/3 of them were blazer owners with a similar problem that ive got saying that the gatorback fixed the problem they had with the serpentine belt squeak and that the noise didnt come back.
I was wondering if anyone on here has had the same problem and that buying a goodyear gatorback belt would be worth it and hopefully eliminate the problem.
I know i wrote a lot here- thank you for your time!
