Which Gates Greenbelt?

CW3SF · 12-21-2021, 04:45 PM

I’m gathering parts for blower ported and Griptec pulley installed but staying with stock pulley ratios. I found that the stock Chevy belt is K080828 but Gates Greenbelt does not list that size. Has anyone installed the GreenBelt and figured out which size works?

You can get the rpm belt, didn't look for the greenback but think it's similar number. HD instead of RPM I believe

Thanks. I’m not seeing it in HD or GreenBelt. I may have to go with the RPM or just put the stock belt back on. Anyone have an opinion if the RPM belt above is an improvement over oem?

The biggest mistake people make with the RPM belt is over tensioning. These belts do not stretch, well at least not as much as the other belts. If installing your self, do your research.

Correct they're not supposed to stretch much.
Found sizes k080830hd and k080834hd.
I've seen with an 8% lower a k080839hd used and it was just a tad on the long side but still near the middle on the tensioner. Stock lower is a bit smaller so I'd think one of those would work, probably k080830hd

I may try that K080830HD and see how it fits. I can always go back to the stock belt if it doesn’t work. Thanks for the help
