The pictures on this listing are deceptive. They show the Elite Poly V belt was the newer version of the Goodyear Gatorback belt with the quiet technology. I purchased the belt for that reason alone. When I received the package, it just had a standard 6-rib belt though. I looked up the part number and saw that it was supposed to be a standard belt, and the description does state it is the OE style. Research shows that Continental stopped making the Elite Poly V belt around 2019 and nobody makes that style anymore. Still seems like a quality OE style belt, so I'll see how it lasts.

well after returning the first one for the wrong product and getting back the same thing I returned, apparently there is no such thing as the gator or "Elite" belt anymore, so if that's what you're wanting to help with belt chirpping well... you're SOL bc this one isn't it either, it's exactly the same as any other belt you can get at any auto parts store, and will last a few hundred miles of quiet operation then will start back chirpping just like the others,it fits and runs fine, but not quietly.so don't be fooled by the pictures, you're gonna get a regular V groove belt.

I have owned my 01 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LT 8.1L for about 3 years now and it has alyways have this high pitched chip/squeak. My friend and I replaced every pulley we could, also the alternator and swore that the chirp would stop. It never stopped and would immediately stop as soon as I put some water on the bottom of the belt. I noticed this belt in a YouTube review and what do you know, there is no more chirp. THIS PRODUCT WORKS =-)

I purchased and installed this 3+ years ago when it was a Goodyear Branded Product. It was installed on a Avalanche 2500 with an 8.1 engine. There are several blogs about that configuration developing a rhythmic squeaking while the engine runs. The squeak doesn't go away at any RPM. I checked and changed idlers, checked alternator bearings, diagnosed the water pump, used different brand serpentine belts, etc. Nothing fixed it. I ran across a blog (don't recall the web site) where others had this problem. One suggested this belt as it solved their problem. I ordered this belt and "Voila!". No more squeaking. There are no signs of cracking or wear at it's age ( I only drive this truck about 4500 miles a year). I carry an extra belt in all of my vehicles. I will buy this again when the current one wears out.

I bought this for a Chevy 1991 C1500 5.7/350ci with A/C, but without a smog pump and the fit is the same. No difference and no issues.The Continental Elite is the same as the ex-Goodyear Gatorback and still the same product, Goodyear sold their belts and hose manufacturing to Continental of DE a few years back.I have used the Goodyear Gatorback's in the past as well as Gates belts and I have gotten more life out the Goodyear vs. the Gates.I did notice that Amazon fit statement says it won't fit my truck, but this is not correct in my cases and would probably apply to California vehicles that require smog pumps, which mine does not have.If not sure, use a known belt P/N and one of the manufacture sites for conversion and proper fitment. Take note of your accessories such as AC and emission requirements (smog pumps etc).Example: My original belt was a ACDelco # 6K956 which clearly states the following: With Air Conditioner, but without Air/Smog Pump. Converts to Continental P/N 4060955.

This belt is amazing. I had problems with a squeaking noise on my 1994 Checy Truck for quite some time. I've tried several different brand of belts. Also replaced multiple pulleys + tensioner to no avail. I finally read on a forum to use Goodyear Gatorbacks to get rid of the squeak. I was skeptical at first until I received the belt and put it on my truck. Halelujah! it works, no more squeaking sound from under the hood. I'm considering buying another just as a spare back-up

Goodyear came in sealed and manufacter box. The price was extremely great !!! The product is made with quiet design to be quiet but obvious very thin compared to my old Doorman/Dayco style belt those were the thick heavy duty type belt but when not oiled or very cold I would get that screeching belt noise and can hear it Turing the pulleys so if your worried about noise then get Gator belt if you want that extreme heavy duty don't get as this belt will last but not as long as the Dayco/Doorman gator belts are probably made of good rubber about 1/2 inch thick but the Dayco belt is about 3/4 thick. Price and material is your descions. These are so inexpensive that I can change out every 2/3 years if needed.
