anyone use the gatorback belt?
 
been tihnking about replacing my belts with gatorbacks but theyre pricey, are they worth it?

Yup. I actually tried the Gates Micro-V. Squealing bitches are going to be replaced REAL soon. I never had an issue with Gatorbacks. NASCAR doesn't, either.

i ran one on my old bonnie worked great no slipping or noise....

Gatorback on the White 90 SSE and on my 03 Malibu, and love them. Soon the Grey 90 SSE will be getting one also. I don't think that are that much more than a regular belt, but well worth it.

I've never used Gatorback.

But I've been happy with Gates Micro-V both for the S/C and serpentine.

I'm running gatorbacks.....No issues here.

I run a gatorback as well...but there's no need to get them unless you've got an issue or your belts are due for a change anyway.

Used my first one on my Ranger to resolve a squealing belt issue. Liked it so much I bought gatorback to replace my stock one when it shredded on my '97 SE. Worth the extra $8-10 IMO.
