Product Details

The Roadmax Automotive V-Ribbed Belt (Standard), part number 6K849AP, is engineered for accessory drive systems that require a 6-rib belt with the listed length and profile.

The part number 6K849AP is also associated with multiple interchange references, which helps confirm application matching during catalog lookup.

What This Belt Helps Address

• Squealing or chirping from a worn accessory drive belt
• Cracking, glazing, or rib wear on the existing belt
• Loss of accessory drive performance from belt slip
• Incorrect belt length after a previous replacement
• Accessory drive noise on vehicles with aging EPDM belts

Installation Notes and Tips
