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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:53:03 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: cooling fan belts (Herb) From: Herb 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...
