After a lengthy post regarding DIYers and mechanics not understanding somethings......

Got an email (one of many service bulletins a weekI get) from Gates about specific alternators/water pump drive belts for the 2006 - 2011 Ford Ranger / BT-50 / Bravo.

These belts look like an every day automotive "V" belt but according to this bulletin they are different and it's not advisable to use the wrong belt.

This link explains it all.....

We have come across similar things on a range of vehicle where you think it's just a standard everyday part and the original part is an arm and a leg to buy..... only to find out the original part is the only one you can fit.
