Dayco Products LLC has expanded its line of heavy-duty serpentine belt kits, introducing six new skus that cover today’s class eight fleet vehicles on the road.
The newest heavy-duty kits will feature OE grade application-specific components needed for system maintenance, including Dayco’s original flat spring tensioner, two heavy-duty dual bearing pulleys and one or two diesel-grade serpentine belts in the appropriate length and width.
Designed for applications that require highly engineered belt drives, the kits reduce premature accessory bearing failure and extend system life.
“Our team’s goal is to ensure system solutions from Dayco are readily available for today’s distributors and that technicians have all the parts needed for a complete repair,” says Jay Buckley, director of product management for Dayco North America.
“We want to reinforce not only how important it is, but how beneficial it is to replace all parts of a front end accessory drive system at once to maximize vehicle uptime.”
Dayco has continued to focus on growing both its light- and heavy-duty serpentine belt kit line, introducing more than 40 new SKUs in the last several months, including a half dozen heavy-duty part numbers that feature Dayco’s two-piece tensioner for easier and faster installation on DD13, DD15 and DD16 engines, according to Dayco officials.
