• Belt stretch or incorrect tension from age and heat exposure
• Service replacement for a belt that no longer matches OE dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt routing against the vehicle’s accessory drive diagram before installation. Confirm the engine configuration and A/C or non-A/C application match the listed fitment, especially on 2003 and 1996 Dodge Ram models. Inspect pulleys, tensioner operation, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt, since damaged components can shorten belt life.
