Anyone got recommendations for the replacement for my al (etc)t drive belt ( LR051050) with regard to make, low noise and longevity, I've always previously had Gates belts on but they all end up squeaking after a few months

There are Dayco, Continental, Contitech, i would try the continental one, are you sure that a tensioner is not suspect

The make of pulleys matters as well.
I've had INA and skf fail sooner than later, also febi buy in and don't produce their own Phillies. They do great suspension parts but not pullies.
