I have to admit that the price they quoted for the package minus the timing and serpentine belts was mighty tempting.
I have sinced ordered a Gates timing belt, Gates bearings, Toyota water pump, Toyota termostat, and a Goodyear gatorback serpentine belt. I did not want to take chances with some "off brand" parts (never heard of Koyo or SKF). |
I've had two bad experiences with the
Goodyear Gatorback Belts on my 88 Corolla. I used them twice and they squealed and glazed my pulleys something fierce in no time. I went with Toyota OE Mitsobushi belts. They lasted much much longer.
For me ...never again.
Why do yu like these Goodyear serp. belts??
Have yu had much experience with them??
