[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8519633, member: 661255"] Have you tried fitting it yet with your current belt? The pulley on many HO alts is smaller than stock, which is why they recommend a smaller belt. However, if your automatic tensioner is able to take up the slack, there isn't an issue. If the tensioner isn't able to take up the slack under load, then you'll need a new belt. I find it hard to believe that you would have to go with a 6 rib belt instead of a 7 rib if that was stock. When I got quad alternators on my truck and the Gates belt (that came with the kit/bracket) didn't fit, I went to a local auto parts store and they ordered me a custom belt. It cost $86 and some change. It was ready to be picked up in two days and worked great. You should be able to order a custom belt to fit if the stock one doesn't fit properly [/QUOTE]
