[QUOTE="gatesrpm, post: 15665986, member: 187070"] First thing you'll want to do is verify where the tensioner rests with your current belt; you will want it at 50% load or less. As you know, many times a shorter belt is chosen so that even when it stretches, the tensioner won't fully extend and some tension is maintained. Not necessary with RPM belts. Use your current size or part number and put an RPM suffix on the end. You can run that number through our navigates.gates.com portal to see if it's a good number. If you're still unsure just shoot me an email and we can find what will work best. [email]chad.cossette@gates.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
