Phox this might be a good addition in the faq section. I contacted Gates and was sent this. There is more info on these belts but these are the sizes and part numbers. The stock OEM belt is 81 inches.

I'm not special enough to be able to access the FAQ, but I'll pass it on.


phox


actually, I don't think I'd want access, too easy to mess something up, unfixable with duct tape and wire

 

 

I have had so many problems withgetting the right fan belt on 5.9's in Commercial other applications. Would drive you nuts!!! Wrong belt every time without fail.

 

Functional Part Number Gives You The Size Of The Belt

Example- 4 06 049 5

1st digit represents the type of belt, in this case (4) is a K section Poly V-belt.

2nd and 3rd digit gives the number of ribs.

4th, 5th, and 6th digit are the length in inches.

7th digit is tenth of an inch.

Part number 4060495 would be a K section Poly-V belt, six ribs wide, with a length of 49 and 5/10 inches.

 

Bill, you freakin amaze me! Kevin

 

Maybe we need a "Try to Stump Infidel" forum.

 

Actually I knew how to read the size on the part number but needed to find what sizes were produced. That is where the list comes in, it shows what is available in over sizes. I will be fairly easy to figure what size I need, but with the list we can figure what can be purchased. Incidentally he said that they can be ordered from NAPA or ORiley's. Betcha I keep a spare hendy
