Gatorback has never given me any problems . Also you if you do ot already replace the factory tensioner pulley as they will try and flex and cause belt slippage .

When I got my pulley I tried all over town to get the right size Gatorback and no one had it in stock so I settled for a Dayco. 10K later, no problems. Stock tensioner here as well.

I have 17k on my "Duralast" brand from vatozone, still looks fine. I toasted an A/C belt when the compressor locked up though.

I'm using a Autozone Duralast 760K6 for the accessory drive and a Daytona (?) K040378 for the AC.

i have the gatorback 755...it's actually a little shorter than the 760 by half an inch...

(75.5-76.0). Nice and tight fit, but still enough slack to get it on
