I decided to replace the belt last weekend. Went to AutoZone and bought a Kelly-Springfield belt. I verified it was the right one, and though it seemed to be maybe a quarter inch or so shorter then the original, I never could get it on. Took several shots at it making sure it was wrapped on right, in the ribs, and everything. Never could get it. Ended up putting the original back on and taking it back. So, my question is are there any favorites of the aftermarket brands? I ask because this Kelly-Springfield one was $30, and I'm not real fired up about giving the dealer $63 for one.

Thanks in advance!

 

Yep, sure are....Goodyear and Gates.

 

Gatorback belts are the most popular that I have seen.
