    Any decent belts other than the expensive Toyota dealer belt?

    Not sure about the price difference. But the Continental Elite Poly V belt is the only belt I'll ever use. Never had an issue with them before. They used to be the GoodYear Gatorback belt.

    Ah, thanks. I had heard good things about the Gatorback but couldn't find them.

    Looks like the Elite is not made anymore. I just find the OE Technology version.

    Have not had any issues with the NAPA brand as others have stated.
