If you are having trouble with belts try a gatorback by I think goodyear.
Ebay has em cheap if you can stand to wait for one.
Next time I need a belt that's what I'm doing.
Heres the part for a 4.9 for my truck, there are 3 sizes idk why http://www.summitracing.com/search/B...0/?Ns=Rank|Asc
Also, I've seen the same belt on ebay for like 10 bucks so don't let the price scare you.

I paid $20 for just a normal belt, the upper ones were $40+ at the auto store where I live. So $30 for a really good one amazing in my eyes.

What he said.
You can buy a very inexpensive, economy-grade serpentine belt — but you shouldn't. The serpentine belt drives your alternator, power steering, air conditioning and water pump. In other words, a belt failure can leave you stranded, and the towing charges will cost far more than the typical price of a premium belt. Here's how you can tell the difference between premium and economy belts:
1. Cogs. The manufacturers of premium belts mold cogs into the ribs of their belts. The cogs allow the belt to flex more easily, reducing heat buildup.
2. Fabric backing. Fabric adds stability and durability to the belt, resulting in better performance and longer life. The economy belt has no fabric backing.
3. Compounding. Premium rubber compounding isn't something you can see, but higher-quality compounds are more resistant to oil and coolant leaks and heat. They're also quieter.
Most economy and original equipment belts have a life of 30,000 to 40,000 miles (follow the manufacturer's schedule for belt replacement). Premium belts have almost double that life. The longer life easily justifies the slight additional expense.
