Goodyear Serpentine Belt 6-Rib 64" (1626 mm) — EPDM, Direct-Fit Replacement for Ford/Buick

Goodyear Belts 1060640 is a 6-rib, 64-inch EPDM multi V serpentine belt engineered to restore reliable accessory drive performance on compatible vehicles.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for specified applications, this Goodyear 6-rib serpentine belt (alternate part number 6pk1626) combines an EPDM rubber compound with a balanced twist polyester cord to deliver long life, heat resistance, and consistent power transmission. It matches or exceeds original equipment (OE) requirements for many passenger and light-truck engines, and is offered in a standard black finish and 64" (1626 mm) length.

Which vehicles will accept this 64" Goodyear serpentine belt?

This belt fits a range of older and newer Ford and Buick models when the engine's accessory layout requires a 6-rib, 64-inch belt. Always verify fitment against your vehicle’s year, make, model and engine configuration before ordering.

• Examples noted include various Ford F-150 (2011–2017, 2018–2022) and Ford Lobo (2011–2020) applications.
• Legacy models listed: 1986–1987 Buick Regal, 1985–1987 Ford Ranger, 1985 Ford Bronco II, and 1991 Ford Aerostar/Ranger.
• Use vehicle-specific fitment data or measure the installed belt to confirm the 64" length and 6-rib profile.

What materials and construction features matter for belt longevity?

Goodyear’s design pairs EPDM rubber with a balanced twist polyester cord to address the wear modes common in accessory drives. This combination focuses on resistance to heat, ozone and flex fatigue while maintaining tensile strength under load.

• EPDM rubber compound resists heat and weather-related deterioration compared to older neoprene compounds.
• Balanced twist polyester cord provides stable tensile properties and reduced elongation over time.
• Multi V (6-rib) profile spreads load across ribs for smoother engagement with pulleys.

How will installing this belt affect drivability and maintenance?

A properly sized replacement belt helps ensure accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, A/C compressor and water pump run with correct tension and alignment. Replacing a worn belt reduces noise, slippage and the risk of sudden failure during operation.

• Expect quieter operation as rib wear and glazing are eliminated by a fresh belt.
• Proper tension and cord integrity lower the chance of in-service elongation and slipping.
• Routine visual inspections at oil changes help catch misalignment or pulleys that could shorten belt life.

How do I confirm I’m ordering the correct part and installing it properly?

Measure the current belt or consult the vehicle’s service manual and the seller’s fitment guide to match the 6-rib, 64" specification. Installation requires correct routing, proper tension (manual or auto-tensioner), and inspection of pulleys, tensioners, and idlers.

• Record the belt routing or take a photo before removal to ensure correct installation.
• Replace worn tensioners, pulleys, or idlers at the same time to prevent premature belt wear.
• Confirm the belt seats fully in pulley grooves and that tensioner travel is within the specified range.

Who is this for: This Goodyear 1060640 6-rib, 64" serpentine belt is intended for vehicle owners, DIY mechanics and professional technicians replacing worn or damaged belts on compatible Ford, Buick and related models that specify a 6-rib, 64-inch replacement. Choose this belt when you want an OE-matching profile with EPDM construction and balanced cord strength for routine service or scheduled maintenance.
