Keep the belt-driven accessories turning on demanding engine drives with the Gates Accessory Drive Belt 9490, an Automotive XL high-capacity, notched V-belt (HC50 cross section). As the drive heats up, this variable notched belt tightens on the pulleys — designed to help prevent slippage, improve belt performance and reduce noise. It's a direct-fit replacement across a huge range of applications, including the 1977-1981 Ford F-150 5.8L / 6.6L and 1978 Ford Bronco 5.8L / 6.6L, plus many other trucks, buses and farm-equipment engines — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

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

Made to meet or exceed SAE J636C specifications. Country of origin: United States. Sold individually; the number of belts needed varies by application.
