Product Details

Gates TR24562 belongs to the Truck & Bus V-Belt line, a product family focused on heavy-duty service rather than light-duty passenger use. The notched profile helps the belt run smoothly in accessory drive systems, while the EPDM construction and polyester cord support consistent operation under normal shock loads.

This part cross-references Gates 24564 and Wix 42714 for the same application.

What This Belt Helps Address

• Slipping or glazing in accessory drive systems
• Noise from worn or stretched V-belts
• Loss of drive to the water pump or generator
• Fitment issues when replacing an old truck and bus V-belt
• Premature belt wear in heavy-duty service conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt length, top width, and section designation before installation. Confirm pulley alignment and inspect the water pump and generator pulleys for wear, burrs, or contamination that can shorten belt life. After installation, check belt tension according to the vehicle or equipment service specification and recheck after initial run-in.
