Roadmax 6K874AP Serpentine Belt Overview

The Roadmax 6K874AP is an automotive V-ribbed belt built for drivers who want a practical replacement belt with the right fit and material construction for everyday service. This standard serpentine belt uses EPDM rubber and polyester cord reinforcement to support accessory drive operation in a range of compatible vehicles, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Ford Focus applications.

Detailed Description

The Roadmax 6K874AP serpentine belt is designed for accessory drive systems that require a 6-rib V-ribbed belt with an effective length of 2218 mm. Its EPDM construction is suited to modern engine-bay conditions, while the polyester cord helps maintain belt stability in service. This makes it a practical replacement choice for vehicles such as the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500, and 2008-2011 Ford Focus.

This part cross-references Gates K060874 and Continental 6PK2215 for the same application. The 6K874AP also aligns with other interchange references commonly used in accessory drive belt searches, making it easier to identify the correct replacement when comparing OE and aftermarket part numbers.
