Best Fan Belts ?
 

I Am Going To Change My Fan Belts On My 2000 C5. I Would Like To Put The Best Belts On So They Last A Long Time.

I use the goodyear gatorback belts and they seem to work well(no squeaking) and the don't cost an arm and a leg.

Just installed the Gatorbacks a month ago.

I've done the same, and got them with a coupon 50% off!

thanks a lot gatorbacks it is.

What are the part numbers for the Gatorback fan belts for those of us using ASP Underdrive Pulleys?

were can you buy these at???

Order mine through Autozone. They occasionally run a sale.

Here are the Goodyear part numbers for a 1998:

Poly-V Belts
4040420 Poly-V, w/AC
4060802 Poly-V, Alt & PS

:iagree: I also use a 10mm shorter than stock belt and has been working beautifully for over a year.

:iagree: Autzone is the easiest way to get them quickly....

goodyear gator backs. got mine from: http://www.pickproparts.com/ best price 4040420 $11.51 and 4060798 $17.75

for a 2000 part numbers are: a/c 4040420, alt & ps. 4060798 is what goodyear and pickproparts.com are showing. Replacement Products for CHEVROLET CORVETTE - 2000 5.7L V 8 Eng

Part No. Applications Usage Metric Part No. Replace By
Poly-V Belts
4040420 Poly-V, w/AC
4060798 Poly-V, Alt & PS
Tensioners
49283 Accu-Drive Tensioner, PS & Alt Drive
49297 Accu-Drive Tensioner, AC Drive
Idler/Tens Pulley
49006 Idler Pulley
49021 Tensioner Pulley, PS & Alt Drive

Interesting that they changed the belt size on Alt, power steering belt for only two years according to the Goodyear website. 1999-2000 use the 4060798 and all the other C5 years use the 4060802.

Tensioner and idler pulley numbers are all the same all model years. So they must have used a different size pulley on either the power steering pump or alternater those years. Very small difference since the belt length works out to only 4/10 of an inch (4060798 is smaller).

Geez, I have too much time on my hands tonite, I'm outta here !!

:iagree: Just put both on; No problems :thumbs: :seeya
