Gates DK060867 Serpentine Belt

OE Dual-Sided Belt for Explorer Applications

The Gates DK060867 is a Premium OE Dual Sided Micro-V serpentine belt built for accessory drive systems that need efficient power transfer through small diameter pulleys. It is a direct-fit style belt for 2012-2013 Ford Explorer applications, including 2013 Ford Explorer models built Sept. 4, 2012 and older.

Gates Premium OE Dual Sided Micro-V Belt line focuses on OE-style replacement fit and ribbed belt construction for modern serpentine drives.

Detailed Description

The Gates DK060867 serpentine belt is engineered for dual-sided accessory drive systems that require efficient power transmission and reliable rib engagement. Its dual-sided Micro-V construction is suited for small pulley diameters and serpentine routing, helping maintain stable belt tracking in OE-style applications. This belt is a strong match for Ford Explorer service work where the original belt specification calls for a dual-sided ribbed design. If you are replacing a worn Ford Explorer serpentine belt, DK060867 provides the correct dimensional profile and OE performance rating for the application.

This part cross-references Dayco 6060866 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn serpentine belt
• Cracking, glazing, or rib wear on the belt surface
• Loss of accessory drive efficiency
• Belt tracking issues on dual-sided pulley systems
• Fitment mismatch when replacing the original Ford Explorer belt

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing against the vehicle’s accessory drive diagram before installation. Confirm the belt length, rib count, and dual-sided profile match the original specification for the 2012-2013 Ford Explorer. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt, since damaged components can shorten belt life and affect tracking.
