I have had a new Gates fail on me.



I have a 1990 Ford F250 diesel. It has several belts. One EOM belt looks

thin for its length; it turns several accessories. It had about 75k miles on

it. It broke on a trip somewhere at 2 AM. I put a new Gates on there after

the EOM belt broke. It only lasted for 2-3 months. I went to all the auto

parts places in town, bought a recommended belt from each of them, all

different brands. I eye-balled them. The Gates looked like all the rest. The

EOM cost about the same as the rest but it was several layers thicker and

heftier.



Does this mean anything to us? I doubt it except be careful and check

everything..

PS I also have a 1992 diesel Ford and they changed over to serpentine.
