Gates serpentine belt kit

Is anyone using this kit with the belt, tensioner, and idler, or is everyone going OEM? Gates 90K-39185 Complete Serpentine Kit Amazon product ASIN B079C799JD

I went OEM. The OEM has lasted 100k on my rig, so not sure that gates would be any better.

I bought the Dayco kit a couple weeks back, haven't put it on yet. Went to install and saw clearance were super tight, and that the tension pulley is difficult to access from above. It was raining and I don't have a garage to work in, so punted to another day.

I’m probably leaning toward OEM, but thought if I could save $60 bucks and have it next day, I’d go with the Gates kit.

I have had great experiences with Gates. They are an OEM manufacturer. I would not feel bad using Gates parts.
