Product Details

Gates High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) products are built for accessory drive systems that see frequent heat cycling and load changes. The variable notched profile tightens on the drive as temperatures increase, which helps reduce belt slip and supports quieter operation. Part number 9405 is a practical replacement choice for vehicles such as the 1980-1982 Jeep CJ7 alternator drive, the 1983-1984 Volkswagen Jetta air conditioning drive, and the 1980-1981 Mercedes-Benz 300D fan and alternator drive.
