Hello, My 89 F-350 has the leece neville alternator for the ambulance package, and therefore there is a sticker under the hood mentioning that it should be the "E8US-8620-BA" belt from motocraft.

Can anyone here translate that to a more common size that I can order? since googeling that code only gives me multigroove belts, and I need a single V belt.

any help much appreciated.

Dang, Gates is now made in China too? Gone to the dark side.
Listed as Gates, but doesn`t show any info on the belt pictured.

In Germany they wanna give new positive meaning to the phrase "Made in Germany", more and more you see that they are stopping manufacturing in China, and restart manufacturing in Germany. maybe not easy, but a good initiative to get quality in their own hands!

Where something is made has no real impact on the quality. The materials and machinery upkeep do. Quality could go down in Germany due to higher wages, meaning they cut costs on materials and upkeep of equipment.

I know, but if they have the goal to give new meaning to that phrase, I think someone somewhere will make an effort to make good things for a reasonable price.
