99 GP GT Serpentine Belt Replacement
Have a 99 GP GT with 3.8 no Super Charge Was doing some PM's on it and notice some cracks in the Serpentine Drive Belt. How many miles do you get out of one and are they a bear to change. It don't look to bad but you never know what's going to happen when you get in to it. Thanks in advance....wiz

Re: 99 GP GT Serpentine Belt Replacement
I generally get about 60-80K miles for a belt, I'm due to replace mine now. I will be getting a Gatorback belt, this will be my first one. They're supposed to be quieter, better.

Re: 99 GP GT Serpentine Belt Replacement
I swap mine out at about 75K or as soon as i notice any wear or cracking, and i put the old one in with the spare tire for an emegency spare.

Re: 99 GP GT Serpentine Belt Replacement
You need a 15mm socket to fit on to the idler pully to take the tension off the belt so you can get the old one off and install the new one. It's fairly easy to do.

Re: 99 GP GT Serpentine Belt Replacement
Changing the serp belt takes less than 5 minutes. Open the hood, release the belt tensioner, and slip the belt off noting it's routing. Re-route the new belt around the pulleys, and you're done. There are no motor mounts/brackets/pieces in the way like some cars have.
