Accessory Drive Belt???

[rgorke]

Is this one of the "have to have" Motorcraft or are there reliable after market versions?

I think you can get away with Gates or most other brands. I've stayed with the Motorcraft (have Jaguar printed on them) ones just because they are nearly as cheap and I know that they actually go 150K miles. That said, I don't know that the others don't do this as well.

Thanks, after spewing coolant all over my belt several times over the past week or so, mine is fraying and I don't want to go too long w/o changing. A strand or two has come off.

I may just head up the road and get one from the the dealership for $37.99. With shipping, it is only $5 or so more than on-line.
