Product Details

The Gates 90K-38398 is part of the Accessory Belt Drive Kit (Standard) line, which is built around servicing the full serpentine drive rather than replacing only the belt. That approach helps address belt wear caused by aging tensioners and pulleys, and it supports more consistent operation of front-end accessory components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible With 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan, N/A; 1996-2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, N/A; 1996-2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager, N/A; 1996-2000 Plymouth Voyager, N/A; 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country, N/A; 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager, N/A; and 2000 Chrysler Voyager, N/A. Search terms such as Gates 90K-38398 Chrysler Town & Country serpentine belt kit and Dodge Grand Caravan accessory drive kit match this application set.

Common Issues This Kit Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn serpentine drive system
• Uneven belt wear caused by a weak tensioner or worn idler pulley
• Belt tracking problems from aging front-end accessory components
• Repeated belt replacement when the underlying drive hardware is not serviced
• Noise or vibration from worn accessory belt drive parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Follow the included installation instructions and tech tips for accurate setup. Before installation, verify belt routing, inspect pulley alignment, and confirm the vehicle uses a dual-sided V-ribbed belt with air conditioning as listed in the fitment notes. Replacing the belt, tensioner, and idler together helps restore the full serpentine drive system on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles.

The 90K-38398 is engineered to support a complete repair approach for supported Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications, including 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan, 1996-2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country.
