Product Details

Gates Micro-V belts are built to match OE size, construction, and materials so the belt tracks correctly across the accessory drive system. This K060594 serpentine belt is listed for applications including 1986 Ford Aerostar, fan, air conditioning and power steering; 1981-1985 Ford LTD, air conditioning and air pump; and 1981-1985 Lincoln Town Car, air conditioning and air pump. It also covers select Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Marquis, Lincoln Mark VI, and Lincoln Continental applications from 1980-1985. If you are replacing a worn belt on a Ford Aerostar, Lincoln Town Car, or Mercury Grand Marquis, K060594 provides the OE-style dimensions needed for a direct replacement search.

This part cross-references Dayco 5060595 and Roadmax 6K594AP for the same application.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or fraying on the existing serpentine belt
• Loss of proper belt tension or belt tracking
• Accessory drive noise affecting air conditioning, power steering, or fan operation
• Replacement needs on older Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury belt-drive systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing against the vehicle’s underhood diagram before installation. Confirm the application by matching the part number, rib count, and effective length to the existing belt or service information. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt, since damaged components can shorten belt life or cause noise. For fitment searches, this belt is listed for 1986 Ford Aerostar, 1981-1985 Ford LTD, and 1981-1985 Lincoln Town Car, with additional coverage for Mercury Grand Marquis and Mercury Marquis applications.
