Probably 8-rib. Do a Google search for LeftCoast32, it will be the top link. I don't think he's a sponsor so I can't post a direct link. If you have trouble PM me, I have his number.

Really? How's that been working out for you?

To the OP, I've never thrown a belt. I have the HD tensioner. My belt is almost 4 years old, and has nearly 70K miles on it. It's the original belt that came with my Maggie MP112 kit.

Now that I've said that, my belt will probably break tomorrow...

Works great. Turbos don't throw belts. Have you ever seen a turbo, Roger?? Lol

Only pictures.

Haha, but ya, I've owned & modded Duramaxes, and some 6.5l TD's as well. And I've helped out a couple of guys with turbo'd Silverados up here. There aren't many, but they do exist in the wild of Alaska.

When I ever have the chance to build another boosted truck, there's about a 50/50 chance that a turbo will be involved. There's just sooooo many really cool forms of forced induction to choose from these days. It makes it really hard to choose when you can only afford one.

Buddy, Just get an HD tensioner .

Its a must have anyway, while not have the best components you can under your hood??

I have not thrown a belt with my HD tensioner, i did break one once, my fault as i saw the old belt starting to frey.

I run the dayco belts, HD tensioner and dayco 101mm idlers.

PM 03sierraslt, he has the part # for the gates HD green belt, and he runs the hd tensioner and a 101mm idler on his 2300.
