I tried a Dayco 1550 and this melted and cooked off in about 2 months and I was shocked as the overall length difference is 5mm.

I have used Dayco and Gates in my 800 Doo. they typically explode within 500 miles, but that could be my wacky sled. Although I’ve never had a problem with OEM
I'm generally in the OE only camp, but for belts, it's really not that big a deal. Sounds like you got the wrong part, but anything from a major brand will last another 100k miles easily.
