Serpentine Belt and Fluids

[Moncha]

Goodyear PolyV GatorBack Part #
4060900 for 2000+
4060895 for 1999


(I've used the 4060895 on both my 1999 and 2000)

When I was in getting the oil changed the other day the tech pointed out that my serpentine belt had a lot of small cracks on the inside. Does this mean it's time to replace it?

Thanks.

If the belt has alot of small cracks and you haven't replaced it in the last 25K miles, i'd say change it soon. Better be safe than sorry at the side of the road some night waiting for the tow truck.

It is a very simple job, replaced mine in 5 minutes.

Thanks. It sounds simple. I assume there is some part that I need to loosen to get it off and on.

DK, this ought to help:




Just put the proper size socket on a ratchet or breaker bar & pull in the direction as in diagram to take tension off the belt.

Great diagram. Thanks.
