Product Description

The Gates K080680HD Heavy-Duty Micro-V serpentine belt is designed to meet the rigorous demands of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and industrial diesel-powered commercial vehicles. Its 8-rib "K" - profile, reinforced polyester-cord core, and rugged EPDM construction deliver reliable, high-capacity accessory drive performance under heavy load, high temperature, and continuous duty - powering fans, alternators, water pumps, and other critical accessories.

Built for real-world heavy-duty applications such as long-haul trucking, fleet operations, or industrial vehicle service, the belt resists oil, coolant exposure, ozone, and thermal stress. Its robust multi-rib design helps maintain tension and minimize slip or wear over long service intervals.

Disclaimer: Fitment information is provided as reference only. Because heavy-duty belt compatibility depends heavily on engine type, accessory-drive configuration, pulley layout, and routing, buyers must verify belt length, rib count, and belt-drive setup on their specific vehicle before ordering. This belt may not fit all models or configurations even within the stated vehicle-type or year-range.
