Gates Fleetrunner Serpentine Belt K060882HD

I didn't see any mention of this on the forums so I thought I would post it.

If you are looking for a good option for your serpentine belt, the Gates Fleetrunner PN K060882HD belt fits great and will give longer than normal life. These are the green-backed belts. They are listed for 00-06 Tundra, but I just put one on my 2006 LC and it fit great, as it should, since the standard Gates belt is K060882 which is just the standard black non-Fleetrunner version.

I have been running Fleetrunners on everything from a supercharged C5 Corvette to an E55 AMG to an F250 diesel, they don't stretch, run quiet, and run forever.

My 200 was new to me with around 65K on her. Replaced the serp belt with the green Gates HD version and it still looks new, 3 years and around 30K more miles. Good stuff.

I used a green on my lawn tractor, after going through multiple blacks each season. The green was still working great after years of use.

The pricey Toyota belts are great belts also. I know with them I can count on perfect fit (length, pitch, depth). That the tensioner dial indication of belt length/wear will be accurate. The back side grab/resistances will be as required. Also that it will run quiet.

Have you spec out the green to see if exact fit with same attribute? Any difference in sound?

I replaced a Gates, not an OEM Toyota - I do it as a matter of principle on used cars - cheap insurance to do the belt and tensioners if they have not been done.

As far as noise, its silent. As far as attibutes, its a bit thicker and the belt ribs are sort of textured. They are great belts.

Thicker would change indicator starting point. Did yo happen to look at your starting point new and now at __ miles (run time)?

Looked last night, tensioner is smack in the middle of the "B" Zone. A+ Belt would belt again.
