A gates belt or similar is just as good a motorcraft belt. And changing the belt is EASY. I can do it. Just move tensioner, pull belt off, reroute belt with tensioner up and then let tensioner back down.... EASY, only thing you have to remove is wheel and fender well lining and that cover over the belt area. EASY. Cost me $50 (plus parts) to have a complete stranger change 2 pulleys and the belt for me. If your friends with that guy it should be much cheaper IMHO. Yah, turns out it is a Gates Belt.

I should be 20$ I told him I think I need a new IDLER PULLEY and TENSIONER. We will just have to wait and see. I'm going to stick around and watch this man work. Get all in him space and learn something if I can..lol
