Goodyear Serpentine Belt 6-Rib 48.5" (1060485) — EPDM Rubber, Heat-Resistant Multi-V Drive Belt

Goodyear Belts 1060485 is a 6-rib, 48.5-inch multi V serpentine belt engineered with EPDM rubber and a balanced twist polyester cord for durable, quiet power transfer in compatible vehicles.

This serpentine belt is designed to replace worn or noisy drive belts and restore efficient accessory drive performance. Built to meet or exceed original equipment standards, the Goodyear 1060485 combines heat- and weather-resistant materials with a multi-rib profile to reduce slip, lower vibration, and extend service life. Whether you're doing a routine belt replacement or repairing a slipping accessory drive, this belt provides the correct length and rib count for the listed fitments and many compatible engine configurations.

How will this belt improve my vehicle’s accessory drive performance?

The Goodyear 1060485 uses an EPDM rubber compound and a balanced twist polyester cord that resist heat, ozone, and stretching. The multi V rib profile increases surface contact with pulleys, which reduces slippage and delivers smoother power transfer to alternators, pumps, and compressors. Together these features cut noise and vibration for a quieter running engine bay.

• EPDM compound resists heat and weathering for longer life
• Balanced twist polyester cord minimizes elongation under load
• 6-rib design increases grip and reduces belt slip
• Engineered to reduce noise and vibration

Is this the correct size and part number for my vehicle?

The belt is listed as 48.5 inches (485 in or 1232 mm) and commonly cross-referenced as 6PK1232. Always verify fitment against your vehicle’s OEM part number or measure your existing belt before ordering. The product fits several makes and model years but may also fit other vehicles that use the same rib count and length.

• Length: 48.5" (1232 mm) — equivalent to 6PK1232
• Rib count: 6 (multi V configuration)
• Check current belt stamping or OEM part number for confirmation
• Compatible with listed Audi, Chrysler, Dodge, and International applications

What construction features help this belt last longer?

The Goodyear 1060485 combines modern materials and belt architecture to improve durability under engine heat and mechanical stress. EPDM rubber stays flexible over a wide temperature range while resisting cracking and ozone degradation. The balanced twist polyester cord preserves length control and helps maintain proper tension and pulley alignment during operation.

• EPDM rubber for heat and weather resistance
• Balanced twist polyester cord for dimensional stability
• Multi V profile distributes load across more surface area
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OE performance standards

How should I install or replace this serpentine belt?

Installation requires routing the belt correctly around accessory pulleys and setting proper tension with the tensioner. Inspect pulleys, tensioner, and idlers for wear before installing a new belt. If uncertain, consult a service manual or a professional mechanic to avoid misrouting or premature wear.

• Confirm pulley routing diagram or take a photo before removal
• Release belt tensioner to remove the old belt safely
• Route the new 6-rib belt exactly and reapply proper tension
• Verify smooth operation and no rubbing after installation

Who is this for: The Goodyear 1060485 serpentine belt is for DIYers, fleet technicians, and independent repair shops replacing worn drive belts on compatible Audi TT, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Attitude, Dodge Stratus, and specified International truck models (see fitment list). It suits anyone needing an OE-grade, long-life replacement with improved resistance to heat, stretching, and noise. Confirm vehicle fitment and rib/length specifications before purchase to ensure proper compatibility.
