Goodyear Gatorback Belt?
Goodyear Gatorback Belt?
Anyone ever use this product and if so which belt fits the L77? My Caprice (2011, ~35k miles) sounds like it needs a new belt. Loud chirping and I can see a slight misalignment (belt shifts slightly side-to-side). Original belt is on the motor and would like to find something that’s going to keep my car quiet. Thanks for your input.

Re: Goodyear Gatorback Belt?
Been about a year since I replaced mine but I'll have a look next time I'm out there, it's either the Gatorback or a Dayco. I will say that my car had a terrible chirp and the crank pulley was wobbling something fierce. Apparently very common amongst the G8 guys as well (yay quality control). I replaced my crank pulley with a Dayco stock replacement and a new bolt, and the car is quiet as can be, and zero belt movement. Not sure if yours has the same affliction but just a thought.

Re: Goodyear Gatorback Belt?
chirping and wobble is likely a pulley going bad

OP, I do not have Gatorback, I have Dayco 5060763
That 1117N is the exact one I bought, and runs smooth now.

Re: Goodyear Gatorback Belt?
Is the pulley itself not still covered by the GM TSB on that?
