Product Details

Gates High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) products are built for engine drives that see constant heat, load, and vibration. This Gates 9585 accessory drive belt uses a variable notched profile that tightens as it heats up, which helps reduce belt slip and supports more consistent operation of fan and air conditioning drives. For Ford Bronco and Ford F-Series applications, as well as E-100, E-150, E-250, and E-350 Econoline models, the belt dimensions and construction are matched to the specified accessory drive setup.

This part cross-references Continental 17585 and Four Seasons 55128 for the same application.
