A-Premium Serpentine Belt 6-Rib 44.84 in — EPDM OE-Style Replacement for V6 & Select L4

The A-Premium 6-rib serpentine belt (44.84 in) is a direct-replacement EPDM drive belt engineered to restore accessory drive function with quiet, long-lasting performance.

If your vehicle’s accessories — alternator, power steering, A/C compressor and water pump — are being driven by a worn or slipping belt, this A-Premium serpentine belt is built to match OE-style fit and routing. The belt’s 6-rib K-profile and polyester cords combine with EPDM rubber for heat and ozone resistance that helps maintain tension and reduce cracking over time. Before ordering, verify fit with the vehicle fitment list and any seller-specific fitment tools to avoid returns.

How does the belt’s construction affect durability and noise?

The belt uses EPDM compound and polyester cord reinforcement to resist heat, oil and ozone degradation that commonly causes fraying and cracking. The multi-rib K-profile spreads load across six ribs to reduce slippage and maintain even wear, helping keep operation quiet under normal conditions.

• EPDM rubber reduces hardening and cracking versus older materials.
• Polyester cords provide stable tensile strength and stretch control.
• 6-rib K cross section improves grip and reduces belt squeal.

What are the key specifications and cross-reference numbers?

The belt’s effective length and geometry are essential for correct routing and tension. This unit is sized to the following measurements and includes multiple reference numbers used by aftermarket and OEM catalogs for identification.

• Effective length: 44.84 inches; outside circumference: 45.51 inches.
• Top width: 0.807 inches; rib count: 6; cross section: K.
• Materials: EPDM belt compound with polyester cords; cross refs include 6PK1138, K060448 and various OEM part numbers.

How should I prepare and install the replacement belt?

Installation is straightforward for most accessory layouts but inspecting the tensioner and pulleys first is recommended. Replacing a worn tensioner or damaged idler pulleys alongside the belt helps maintain proper tension and extends the life of the new belt.

• Check tensioner travel and pulley bearings for noise or wobble before installing.
• Follow the vehicle’s belt routing diagram and use proper tensioning tools where required.
• If unsure, have a technician verify routing and torque specifications for your engine.

Who is this for: This A-Premium serpentine belt is for DIYers and technicians seeking an economical, OEM-style replacement for vehicles listed in the fitment details — especially owners of mid-2000s to late-2010s Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercury and selected other models. Choose this belt if you want EPDM durability, a quiet multi-rib profile, and broad cross-reference coverage; confirm exact fit with your vehicle’s year, engine, and any compatibility tools before purchase.
