Serpentine Belt
The idler pulley on my 2015 Ford E350 with the Triton V10 with A/C is chirping. 43,000 miles on it. So I figure while I'm changing the idler I'll replace the belt. A friend of mine who is a mechanic...

Without a doubt, the Gatorback cog belt is the one to use. Another very good belt is the Dayco Polycog belt. Be sure you use a cog belt whatever you do. They're the only ones that stand up to the torture of the heat and work they need to do.
I use them on my Aerostar because none of the other "premium" belts lasted more than a month with the air conditioner on in the hot summer weather. The Gatorback belts last for years and years. Don't waste your money on anything else.
