> and would trust anything made by Gates...
I have had a new Gates fail on me.
I have a 1990 Ford F250 diesel. It has several belts. One EOM belt looks
thin for its length; it turns several accessories. It had about 75k miles on
it. It broke on a trip somewhere at 2 AM. I put a new Gates on there after
the EOM belt broke. It only lasted for 2-3 months. I went to all the auto
parts places in town, bought a recommended belt from each of them, all
different brands. I eye-balled them. The Gates looked like all the rest. The
EOM cost about the same as the rest but it was several layers thicker and
heftier.
Does this mean anything to us? I doubt it except be careful and check
everything..
GeoB
PS I also have a 1992 diesel Ford and they changed over to serpentine.

The belt is 10/590. Mitsubishi...The spec on the CPS web page is
10/6/590. A bit confusing...
Could not find a belt of the same size on the net...found a 587 which
should work..
I have a 1991 Ford f250..diesel...:-) Runs like a top... Herb
