Keep your engine's accessories driven with the Gates Automotive XL High Capacity V-Belt (MPN 7541), a durable replacement V-belt built for demanding engine drives. It's a direct-fit replacement for many classic and vintage vehicles, among them the 1983-1987 Ford F-250 [V8-7.5L], 1980-1982 Jeep Cherokee [L6-4.2L] and 1962-1963 Chevrolet Impala [L6-3.8L]; check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and your exact engine.

This variable-notched design responds to the thermal forces of a running engine: as it heats up, the belt tightens on the drive to help resist slippage, improve belt performance, and reduce noise.

  • Fiber-loaded rubber stock: adds flexibility along the belt's length and provides greater lateral stability in the pulley.
  • Form-ground: precise top-width and sidewall dimensional control for proper fit to the pulley.
  • Thermally-active tensile cords: maintenance-free performance when properly installed and tensioned.
  • Built to last: resists oil, heat, ozone, weather and aging for improved belt life.

Specs: EPDM belt material with polyester cord, HC41 cross section, 0.41 in (10 mm) top width, 54.82 in (1392 mm) outside circumference, and a 36° angle. Meets or exceeds SAE J636C specifications. Country of origin: United States. Some applications use two belts; this listing is for one — confirm the quantity for your engine in the Buyer's Guide.
