I have replaced the serpentine belt twice on my 91 Cherokee and both of them I bought are junk. They both squeak. I bought one from autozone and one from o'reillys. I bought the top of the line belt in each case and they both failed. o'reillys doesn't carry the Gatorback brand anymore. I have one of those on my 87. They're great. Where do you guys get your good quality serpentine belts from?

 

Have you tried napa or one of the many jeep places online?

 

I'd order a gatorback and borrow a ride for a couple of days until that belt arrives.

 

X2 on the gatorback

 

i got my gator back on ebay for $12 that's a sore peter deal can't beat it!!! LOL, but seriously though it is a genuine gator back too. i figured ebay and i'd get screwed but nope it is the real deal. and i love it!!!

 

I haven't tried Napa. I kinda stayed away from ordering it online and on ebay because of potential bad quality. Did all of you order a gatorback online or can I buy it somewhere in a store? When I type it in on ebay I get about 60 results with a bunch of different part numbers. Mine is a 91 and they only have options for 98+ Here's the link: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?rt=nc&LH...=p3286.c0.m282

honetsly bud when i went to buy mine i found like 10 different part numbers as well, so what i did was i went to google and searched for my exact part number which i think it sent me to goodyear website but after i got the correct part number from that site i then went back to ebay found the same part number and bought it. i was thinking it would be crap but it is in perfect condition. and i mean perfect condition. just look for the platinum rated sellers those are the ones you can more likely trust. but search in ebay don't follow a link to ebay it could be bad.

 

I had a similar situation with my old '89.. Turned out to be the harmonic balancer.The rubber wore out, and was replaced with the wrong one. I must have changed belts 4 times, only last about 6-8K miles. That balancer was replaced, and then I used the same belt untill I traded the 89 off, probably another 80K..!!
