Continental OE Technology Series 4080945 8-Rib, 94.5" Multi-V Belt

Used this belt on my 2007 Tundra Limited with the 5.7L V8. It in combination with a new tensioner pulley & bearing has completely silenced belt noise. This belt is slightly shorter than the stock belt, but installing it was easy if you thread the belt through the entire path and skip (under) the idler. I was able to use one hand to release the tensioner and the other to slip the slack over the idler. I used my Capri Tools 1/2 Inch Drive Extension Breaker Bar, 377 ft-lb, 24 inches  and my  Bovidix 5040107 1/2-Inch Drive Socket, 6 Point, Metric - 14mm  and it made the serpentine belt easy enough to do by myself.Bottom Line: If you have a Toyota with the 5.7L V8, and the belt is noisy, get this one and a new tensioner pulley and you'll enjoy the quiet once more.

2007 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8CAUTION: The Amazon fit guide recommended 4080948. (a slightly longer belt). More than 1 online discussion forum I read through mentioned that the longer belt slips and to use this belt instead. From what I read, the 948 will work fine until the engine/belt gets hot and it will slip frequently.These Gatorback belts run considerably cooler and quieter then traditional serpentine belts. Many mechanics in online forums recommended them.The dealer wanted $220.00 to replace the belt. For about $40 I was able to replace this serpentine belt on my Tundra in about 20 minutes. I did have to remove the bottom skid plate to get access. I printed a schematic of the belt route ahead of time. Make sure it is properly placed on all pulleys before you run engine. It was a pretty tight fit, but I was able to get it on once I made sure it had no slack on anywhere. I'm sure the old belt had stretched a little in 6 years and was in worse condition than I thought once I was able to inspect it closely.Dan

2007 Tundra 4.7 L - DOES NOT FIT!This seems to be a great belt however it did not fit on my 2007 Tundra SR5 4.7 L. Amazon said it would fit my Tundra but it was obviously wrong. I had to make a few calls, a lot of research and I came to find out that what does fit is the "Continental Elite 4060878 Poly-V / Serpentine Belt" Previously the gatorback. So, if you have a 2007 Tundra 4.7 L and are looking for the right belt, I hope I have saved you money and time here.

Squealed a lot on my 2008 Tundra.

Bought this due to lots of reviews on tundra forums. This was recommended for the 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra. I thought it was going to be the Goodyear Gatorback belt and when it showed up it was a Continental Elite belt. After the shock of thinking I got the wrong belt I began researching online. Come to find out in February last year goodyear was bought out and continental is the new Goodyear brand. As of March this year the Goodyear belts are all now continental elite. I have not used the belt yet so I can not give it a rating. My rating is for not advertising the actual product being sold and having the wrong picture.

Well I was happy with the product until today. Take a look at the photo, the belt broke today and this is what is left. Unfortunately the 30 day return window has passed.

Replaced my serpentine belt today on a 2008 Tundra 5.7L V8. It took me about an hour or a little more. Was pretty straight forward and not near as expensive as the local Toyota dealership wanted ($250). I did have to buy a longer breaker bar and some adapters to align the belt tensioner with the hole that keeps it from tensioning the belt. My sockets were 3/8 inch and the breaker bar I bought was 1/2 inch. It would have been somewhat easier access wise if I had gotten a 1/2 inch 14MM socket rather than using the adapter to my 38 inch 14MM socket. I would recommend taking the belt out of its packaging before hand and hanging it up to straighten it out somewhat. The curves from how it is packaged takes somewhat of a set and slows down the process of installing the new belt. I had to go in a few times to check the routing of the belt on my computer (and sip on a beer) so that contributed to the longer install. I didn't remove the V-Block cover from the engine for the actual belt install, but had removed it a couple of days earlier to wash it off. It comes off and on pretty easily, so kind of up to you, I didn't think it would have given me much better access from the top with or without it. There are a couple of good links I'm including to help you out, one from You tube and the other a pdf. Tundra 3UR-FE Belt.pdf from tundra solutions website and the following You tube link that's for a 2007 Tundra but as I understand it the 2007-11 model years are the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52MAer_7-QA

This was a prefect fit for my 2008 Toyota Sequoia 5.7L V8. Went on smooth and easy, and NO SQUEAKS!. I had tried the Dayco equivalent belt a few weeks prior, and it squeaked every time I started. So this belt was a huge relief.Side Note: This is the same belt as the Gatorback, just a name change because Continental bought them out.
