Goodyear serpentine drive belt 6-Rib 82.5" (1060825) — EPDM durable, quiet operation

This replacement serpentine belt restores reliable accessory drive performance for engines designed to use a 6-rib, 82.5" belt. Built to meet or exceed original equipment standards, the Goodyear 1060825 (also referenced as 6pk2096) combines modern materials and manufacturing tolerances to resist heat, ozone and abrasion while maintaining stable length and tension over time.

Will this belt fit my car?

If your vehicle originally used a 6-rib serpentine belt with an 82.5" effective length, this Goodyear 1060825 is a direct-fit replacement for many models. Check your owner’s manual, the belt routing sticker under the hood, or measure your old belt to confirm matching rib count and length.

• Measured length: 82.5 inches (about 2096 mm)
• Rib count: 6 multi‑V ribs for standard accessory pulleys
• Alternate part number: 6pk2096 — useful for cross-referencing
• Commonly used on selected Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler and Dodge engines from late 1980s through 2015 (verify vehicle fitment)

How does the material construction improve durability?

The 1060825 uses an EPDM rubber compound and a balanced twist polyester cord to extend service life compared with older rubber technologies. EPDM resists common belt-degrading factors while the reinforced cord maintains tensile strength and prevents excessive elongation.

• EPDM rubber: resists heat, ozone, weathering and abrasion
• Balanced twist polyester cord: maintains consistent tension and reduces stretch
• Precision molding: consistent rib profile for quieter operation
• Manufacturing tolerances aimed to meet or exceed OE specifications

What performance and maintenance benefits can I expect?

Replacing a worn belt with the Goodyear 1060825 restores reliable accessory drive operation and can reduce noise and slip under load. Because of its materials and construction, it helps maintain proper charging, cooling and accessory function with fewer premature replacements.

• Quieter running thanks to accurate rib geometry
• Lower chance of cracking or glazing in typical driving conditions
• Reduced maintenance frequency due to minimized stretch and wear
• Simple swap-in replacement—no special tools beyond standard belt-installation aids in most cases

How do I confirm installation requirements before buying?

Confirm rib count (6 ribs) and the specified belt length (82.5") from your vehicle documentation or by measuring the existing belt. If routing or tensioner condition is uncertain, inspect pulleys and tensioner for wear and replace them as needed when installing a new belt.

• Match 6 ribs and 82.5" length to the old belt or service manual
• Inspect idler pulleys and tensioner for smooth rotation and no play
• Replace worn tensioner or pulleys to prevent premature belt failure
• Use the correct routing diagram to avoid misalignment

Who this is for: Mechanics, DIY enthusiasts and fleet technicians seeking an OE-quality serpentine belt replacement will find the Goodyear 1060825 suitable where a 6-rib, 82.5" belt is specified. It’s designed for drivers who want a durable, low-noise replacement that uses modern EPDM and reinforced cord construction to keep charging, cooling and accessory systems operating reliably between scheduled services.
