Anyone that carries a Goodyear Gatorback belt. Best belt available. Autozone carries it.

I had asked this same question a while back, there were several negative posts about the goodyear gatorback. But the gatorback was $26 bucks at Autozone, that was 2/3s lower than what Dodge wanted, and more than 1/2 lower than the two belts that NAPA had.

I figured for $26, I would give it a try. The belt does not chirp on shutdown, like the factory belt did since new, it has been just fine so far. I keep a watch on it, my original belt was peeling the most forward rib off, this one has not, so far.

When the belt starts losing ribs it's time to replace the tensioner assembly.
