• Manufactured by an OE supplier with a proven pedigree

What vehicles and applications use a 6-rib, 88.2" serpentine belt?

The 6-rib, 88.2" dimension is common on a range of domestic and import engines that route a single belt around alternator, power steering, air conditioning compressor and idler/tensioner pulleys. Always verify belt length and rib count against the vehicle’s service manual or existing belt before purchase.
