Product Details

Continental’s Truck V-Belt line focuses on durable service in accessory drive systems where consistent belt grip and stable tension matter. This belt uses EPDM construction for resistance to heat and wear, while high-strength fiber reinforcement helps limit stretch over time. The result is a belt intended for steady fan, alternator, and generator drive performance in classic Dodge Ram 50, Mitsubishi Mighty Max, and Jeep CJ5 applications. Part number 22430 is also a useful reference when matching the correct belt size for these older engine accessory layouts.

This part cross-references Gates (e.g., TR20426, TR22425) for the same application.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or fraying on the existing V-belt
• Loss of alternator or generator drive due to belt slip
• Reduced fan drive consistency from belt wear or stretch
• Incorrect belt length or width on a replacement service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley alignment, belt routing, and tension before installation. Match the belt width and length to the vehicle application and confirm the drive position listed for your model. For best results, inspect related pulleys and accessory bearings for wear before installing Continental 22430.

Quality Assurance

Continental Truck V-Belt products are engineered to meet or exceed SAE J636 standards for top width and sidewall precision, supporting consistent fit and quiet operation in accessory drive service.
