Applejack Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 So I'm stuck between which to get. I've heard good things about both the Gates and the Goodyear. Anyone have experience with one or both?

ty_houston Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 So I'm stuck between which to get. I've heard good things about both the Gates and the Goodyear. Anyone have experience with one or both? gatorback, much stronger than the gates belt, I had a similar dilemma about a month ago,go to napa or autozone and look at them side by side. supercharged hummer h2 8 Sundown nightshade v'2 Scott Bowman built 4th order bandpass 2 precision power pcx 4125(mids & hi's) 2 Stetsom 14k2e's alpine ina-w910 dual Mike Singer350 amp alt 8 kinetic 2400 batteries two shuriken bt 120 1 kinetic 2000 under the hood link to build log: My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00sdime00 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Regular Gates belt...or the Gates HD belt?...two different animals. The Green HD belt shits on the regular and the Goodyear Gatorback. A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.

superdave07 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have to agree here. Been working for O'reillys for a long time now. And have gone to several Gates product meetings. Their HD series is pretty much as tough as it gets, they use that same materiel to build blower belts for top fuel dragsters. Dont get me wrong the Goodyear belts are very durable. However my opinion would be Gates, plus Gate will stand behind a warranty 100%. And if someone in a parts store wont do your warranty, PM me and ill have it taken care of.

dr hypothesis Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I just got a new belt myself. Nobody in my town even carries Gatorback. I went with the spendier Gates belt. My old belt must of been slipping bad. My voltage is much better after getting the Gates. Probably can't go wrong either way. 2001 Chevy Impala Eclipse CD7200 mkii Cactus Sounds 5kw Sundown 100.4 (2) Fi BTL 18s (walled) ID 6.5s (2 sets) Iraggi 320 amp Alt XS Power Batts KnuKonceptz Wiring MidwestSPL Scores: 152.0 Advanced 2 136.1 Extreme 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
