Is it the plug & play upgrade or is it the one where you need to mod the bracket? Also, can you provide a link? Thanks.

Gates is overall a great product but with how tight 4.0L belts need to be, Gatorback is simply the most reliable. Personally I think they're better than using a conventional "straight ribbed" belt because you don't have to tighten them as much to make the squealing stop. People always go on about how tight they need to be... I didn't think I tightened really as much as people claim. IMHO the bearings might last longer as a result of less tension. PartSource carries them but the price is not very friendly. Like most things there lol
