Product Details

Gates High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) products are built for accessory drive systems that operate under thermal load and changing engine temperatures. The variable notched profile helps the belt tighten on the drive as it heats up, which supports reduced slippage, smoother operation, and lower noise in the belt drive system. The Gates 7695 is a direct-fit style replacement for listed applications that use a single-strand HC41 belt profile.

This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 13695, 15695) for the same application. It is also referenced in applications for Chrysler 300, Chrysler Imperial, and Chrysler New Yorker, as well as Buick Skyhawk and Pontiac Sunbird configurations listed below.

What It Helps Address

• Belt slippage in hot-running accessory drive systems
• Squealing or noise from a worn V-belt
• Loss of drive to power steering, air pump, generator, or air conditioning systems
• Cracking, glazing, or wear on an aging belt
• Inconsistent accessory performance caused by belt stretch or poor tracking

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the belt section, effective length, and outside circumference before installation.
• Confirm the vehicle does not have AC where the fitment notes exclude AC-equipped models.
• Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and accessory alignment before installing the new belt.
• Check the belt path carefully on Chrysler 300, Imperial, New Yorker, and Town & Country applications.
• After installation, run the engine and recheck belt tracking and tension.
