Gates K080948 Micro-V Serpentine Drive Belt

This belt went on my 4.6L Tundra without any issues. I got 13 years on the original belt and it might've been okay for more but a 2,500 mile trip is coming up and I wanted to make sure a broken belt should not be an issue. No squeaking and very little belt memory from the package so it slipped on and seated correctly the 1st try. Only time will tell if it is as good as OEM or will last as long as the belt that came on the engine. Priced well. I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Worked as it was supposed to.

Fix my wining sound

Squeak, squeal and chirp gone. Bought the belt 12/23/20 when I had about 80k miles on a 2013 Tundra 5.7L. (Bought the truck used with 71.8k miles 7/19). Got it for when I needed to replace it. (Replaced 2/21/26 with 115.3k miles). Got my money's worth (from original). Tight removal and install, but got it done.

Good price, installed as needed, works great. No more annoying squeaking from old belt. Fewer stars: Update, about 10 miles driven, we noticed some strange "slapping" sound, kind of high pitched. Turned engine off, found that edge of belt was separating, about 18" long, about the width of some thick twine. I was about to cut this piece off and get home. Not sure if I installed incorrectly, maybe overlapped a puppy, but do not think so. Thinking that belt could have been older, packaging not the freshest which could have been a contributing factor. Just bought new one locally, newer package, hope it last longer... Update: Back to 4 stars from 2 (from 4). I do not think the belt was an issue. Second belt had same issue. A little research pointed me to the belt Tensioner being an issue and needing replacing at normal frequencies as well. I replaced the tensioner, the old one did have some issues, and it seems to have fix that problem along with a 3rd new belt.....

Gates Serpentine belt, for Tundra 5.7 is perfect fit and quality.

When I first installed it, it would scream and squeal the first 30’sec until the fan caught up. After a week of research I found many tundra owners have the same concern on many different belts. Then I looked at the diagram for belt position online. I had wrapped it wrong on the tensioner. Which made the belt very hard to get on but still goes on. I took it off and ran it properly around the power steering then alternator then back up around the tensioner. Works great now. No noise and was much easier to get on

Good quality.
