There is no mileage spec on the serpentine belt, inspect at 60k, so this one can obviously be turned over and run another 60k....

That looks better than my belt. She'll do at least another 60k easy with a little belt dressing (don't forget the garnish).

The wonders of a double sided serpentine belt! If only I could just flip my timing belts...

This is a cool bastardthing isn’t it? When the belt routing changed in 1999, the alternator runs backwards, And is driven by the other side of the belt, so the belt becomes double sided.

That belt is a spare on the back of my 99

Okay I thought I was cheap. I am pretty sure that's an $8 belt isn't it? Hahahaha

Only $4 if you can flip them
