I just ordered one from Summit (along with an exhaust!) so I'll let y'all know once it arrives and I get it on.

for those that have replaced it - Is anything needed other than a 1/2" drive ratchet/bar handle (to tweak the tensioner pulley) ?

 

Just the time to do it it's about a 15 min job if that ..... btw Autozone carries belts

 

I still have a little squeal on 1-2 upshift using gatorbacks.

 

Judging by the numbers in your signature you have a little more spinning than some of us!

 

My exhaust arrived yesterday but my belt shipped from a different warehouse. It arrived today so I put it on when I got home from work. Had the engine been cool the swap would have taken no more than 10 minutes but since your arms need to be where the radiator hoses run it took a little longer to avoid burning myself At any rate it still took less than 20 minutes and the slip/squeal is no more! I still want to switch to electric fans but with a new baby and too many toys it might be a lil while before I can sneak another large box in the house (especially with wifey at home with baby now ).

All in all Gatorback belt + re-flashed ECU = new truck. 100% satisfied

I thought my transmission was on its way out. Turns out the squeal on 1-2 upshift was a $40 belt. Thanks F150online.
