Product Details

Gates Premium OE Micro-V belts are engineered to match original equipment dimensions and materials for accurate routing and reliable belt tracking. The K060640 is a standard automotive V-ribbed belt with a K section profile and 6 ribs, making it a direct-fit choice for accessory drive systems that power components such as the alternator, water pump, air conditioning, and power steering where specified by the vehicle application. This part cross-references Dayco 5060640 and Continental 4060640 for the same application.

Compatible fitment includes 2011-2025 Ford F-150, alternator and water pump; 2011-2014 Lincoln Mark LT, alternator and water pump; 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy; and 2010-2014 Subaru Outback. It also fits select Volvo 850 and Volvo 960 applications, along with earlier Ford Aerostar, Ranger, and Bronco II configurations listed for this belt routing.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn serpentine belt
• Cracking, glazing, or rib wear on the accessory drive belt
• Loss of proper belt tension or tracking
• Accessory drive issues affecting charging, cooling, or A/C operation
• Fitment problems caused by incorrect belt length or rib count

Installation Notes

Verify belt routing, rib count, and effective length before installation. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s accessory drive layout, especially on Ford F-150, Subaru Legacy, and Subaru Outback models where routing and engine configuration can vary by year. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt, and replace any damaged components that could shorten belt life.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this belt to OE-size, OE-construction, and OE-material standards for consistent performance in everyday service. The EPDM belt compound and polyester cord support long-term durability in demanding accessory drive environments.
