Gates 01-97 Dodge Ram Series Pickup V-8 5.9L Micro-V Serpentine Belt

When your 1997-2001 Dodge Ram 3500's serpentine belt needs replacing, you want a part that's built to last. This Gates Micro-V serpentine belt is designed to keep your engine's essential accessories, like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor, working correctly. A worn-out belt can lead to a whole host of problems, from a dead battery to a loss of power steering, so making sure it's in good shape is key to keeping your truck on the road.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this Micro-V belt uses a multi-ribbed design that offers improved grip and longer wear compared to older V-belt styles. The advanced EPDM rubber compound it's made from helps it resist heat and cracking, which is important for a component that's constantly flexing and exposed to engine bay temperatures. This means you can expect consistent performance and a longer service life from this belt.

Replacing a serpentine belt is a common maintenance task, and this Gates belt is designed to fit your Ram 3500 directly. Make sure to check the tensioner and any idler pulleys while you're in there, as they often wear out around the same time as the belt.
