gatorback belt
i just swapped out the stock drive belt on my 02 V6. i put a goodyear gatorback belt on and now i notice a whine as the rpms rise and fall. i've read these belts can do this, anyone else have this problem? should i consider replacing the belt or is the whine relatively normal?

ive heared there supposed to make a whinning noise, i wouldnt consider it a problem, just buy a diffrent belt cause thats what there meant to do (im pretty sure), sorry if im wrong but thats been my impression.

did you have a gatorback belt?!?!?! Cause im pretty sure that if you buy a gatorback belt your buying it case it gives you a whinning noise.....
Edit: that and it reduced slippage cause it has so many teeth but most people buy it for the whinning noise.

no i just had the motorcraft belt on it, i got the gatorback because that's what checker auto parts had, and i wasnt' going to buy anything from autozone. if the whining is normal then that's cool i can handle it, i was just curious if that was normal.
thanks for the replies

oh and i was talkin to jeremy when asking if he had the gatorback belt. But heres a link to another forum that got into discussion about the gatorbacks, theres also a clip of a cobra with a gatorback belt that whines real bad with it.
