Gates Corp. Releases 229 New Automotive Aftermarket Parts

Gates has launched its new and improved International Thread Identification Kit, expanded its RPM line and added a new fuel filler hose for all engines of 2015 Ford Transports, among others.

gates121-gates-automotive-1Gates Corp. has added 229 new part numbers to its line of OE-quality automotive products.

Among those, Gates has launched its new and improved International Thread Identification Kit. This new kit includes 21 metric thread sizes, both male and female and 10 British thread sizes, both male and female. The product release also includes six new SKUs of Century Series Aramid belts, covering almost 1.75 million VIO. Gates introduced Aramid Serpentine belt technology into the aftermarket in 2014.

Gates continues to expand its RPM (Racing, Performance, Muscle) line with 49 new RPM Micro-V belts. Applications covered by this expansion include: 2014-’15 Dodge Challenger/Charger Hellcat, 2011-’15 Cadillac CTS-V, 2012-’15 Camaro ZL1, 2009-’13 Corvette ZR1, 2015-’16 Corvette Z06 and 1999-2004 F150 Lightning. Gates RPM Micro-V belts have been precisely designed for forced induction and high-output engines. These belts can handle more power and withstand more punishment than any other belt on the market.

Gates also added a new fuel filler hose for all engines of 2015 Ford Transports. Now you can simply replace just the hose at about half the price of replacing the entire assembly. A new EGR molded coolant hose for 6.0 L 2003-’10 Ford Super Duty vans and pick-ups also have also been released. Gates’ precise-fit EGR Cooler Hose with reinforced silicone and O-ring quick-connect ends is an exact OE replacement.

In addition, three new timing component kits for the 2011 and newer Ford Fiesta, the 2012 and newer Fiat 500 and a kit for the injection pump drive on the 2009-’12 Audi Q7 also have been released covering more than 600,000 VIO.

“Gates continues to be committed to product development, both in terms of cutting-edge innovation and meaningful solutions for specific market needs,” said Jack Ramsey, Gates senior vice president, North American Automotive Aftermarket. “We are pleased to be able to offer new products that grow our channel partners’ business through line extensions as well as address emerging needs and technologies.”
