my belt is starting to crack so i need to replace. i have all the part numbers but the only place i can find it is orielly for $52 big ones. seams kind of steep for a belt. does anybody know what other vehicles this belt fits?

Part #730K8
Metric 8PK1854
Gates K080730
Goodyear 4080730
Dayco 5080730
8PK1855

its 8 rib 72.5 or 73 length

 

Go to Napa, my local one carries them for $38. Stick with the Gates belts.

 

bought the Gates K080730 belt but it is too short. does anybody have the part # for an inch longer one

 

The belt on mine came from Napa. I just sold all my vortech stuff or i would look for you good luck.

 

I destroyed on when I installed my procharger, I ended up pulling belts and measuring then one at a time until I found the right one I hate to say as it's a pain but it might be what you have to do

 

Mike,
Check out the gates site, it listed them as lengths. You may have to dig for a while but it listed each measurement in order so you could find the one you need. I remember it being very hard to find but I found it somewhere. If not, I say again go to Napa! They know all the lenght belts and can tell you the next longest or shortest one. They usually know their stuff and can tell you off the top of their head. Not like the rest of the chains, most of the folks there have been there for a while, or at least thats the way they are in my area, its the same people who were there 20 yrs ago. They are great to work with. And they'll usually order a couple and let you return the one that doesn't work without any hassle.
By the way, there is a reason to their numbering system, but it was very weird, I'm sure their customer service number could find it for you if you gave them the # from the one you have.
