Detailed Description
Gates 22690K is engineered for Ford Super Duty trucks that need a targeted accessory drive solution rather than a generic replacement.

As part of the Gates Solution Kit line, 22690K reflects Gates’ focus on accessory belt drive systems and OE-drive refinement. The kit contents include a belt, two hoses, four clamps, and a zip tie, supporting a complete service approach for the specified Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty applications. This part number is 22690K.
Common Issues Addressed
- Belt routing concerns caused by the upper hose path near the serpentine belt
- Chronic belt noise in the front accessory drive system

- Fitment-specific cooling and drive layout issues on single-alternator trucks
Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle is a 2001-2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty or 2001-2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty with no ambulance prep package and a single alternator before ordering. Confirm the build date is April 29, 2001 or later, and check that the upper hose routing matches the listed application. Follow factory service procedures for belt routing, hose placement, and clamp positioning during installation.
