Have troublesome front end accessory drive application? Look to Gates for a solution.
Once in awhile a design comes along that can test your wits. Take the 3.3L and 3.8L engines found on 1996-2000 Chrysler Voyager, Grand Voyager, Caravan and Grand Caravan mini vans. The serpentine belt can come off the drive when the vehicle is driven into a deep puddle of water or through a snow bank. And when the belt comes off, your customer can be left stranded.
A better solution has been developed by the Gates engineers. The System Solution includes a double sided Micro-V belt, a grooved idler pulley and matching tensioner which includes a grooved pulley. Each of the components are designed to work precisely with other parts in the system and offer a true solution.
The pulley grooves and belt ribs of Gates System Solution Kit lock together making it virtually impossible for the belt to jump off the drive. Even misalignment problems can be solved. The "unfixable" now becomes "fixable" thanks to Gates.
