I have read about the Gatorbacks and Gates. Gates being the best... I know you get what you pay for but I was wondering if anyone has used the Duralast belt with success? I see they are cheap which of course is a red flag but I have been able to buy inexpensive parts and have good success. Anyone have good luck with these. Think I will change mine this weekend, its starting to show its age.

My Cherokee can destroy any part installed on it, high quality or not so it's up to you. On a belt I'd defiantly spend extra on a good one.

With the chance that that you could get an extra 10 to 20 thousand miles out of the better belt I would go with it, It's not fun changing these things out on the road, I would expect a good belt to go at least 100,000 miles, they don't tell you how many miles the cheap ones are good for. I always keep the old belt for a spare in my vehicle survival kit.

I go with good stuff. just for piece of mind knowing it's not gonna fail after 10,000 miles

Well, I just ordered the v-ribed gates belt from Beltsnhoses.com. Cost me $31. Can't wait to get it in so I can install it. Going to install it this weekend. I did search the install process and it seems pretty straight forward. Any additional advice?
