6-Rib Serpentine Belt

The Gates K060930 Premium OE Micro-V Belt is designed as a direct replacement for worn or cracked serpentine belts, addressing issues like slippage and squealing noises to restore proper accessory drive function. It ensures consistent power delivery to components such as the alternator, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Constructed from durable EPDM rubber, this belt offers enhanced resistance to heat, ozone, and wear, contributing to an extended service life. It is further strengthened by polyester cord reinforcement for superior tensile strength under varying engine loads. The belt features a 6-rib design for optimal grip and flexibility, with a top width of 20 mm and an effective length of 2363 mm (93.02 inches). The cross-section designation is K. When installing, it is crucial to verify the belt length and rib count against your vehicle's specifications. Inspect pulleys and tensioners for any signs of wear or damage, and use the correct belt routing diagrams for your specific make and model. Proper tensioning is essential to avoid premature wear, and it is recommended to replace any tensioner showing signs of failure. This belt is compatible with a broad array of vehicles from manufacturers including Chevrolet, GMC, Audi, Buick, Mercedes-Benz, and others. However, it is noted that the 2.8L V6 Isuzu Trooper models from 1989-1991 are not compatible with vehicles equipped with AC.
