This Gates serpentine belt is what you get in the box for your 1996, 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500, or your 2003-2008 Ram 1500, or 1996, 2003-2008 Ram 3500 with the 5.7L V-8 engine. It's the single belt that drives all your engine's accessories, like the alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor. When it's worn out, you might notice squealing noises, or worse, your battery won't charge, or your power steering goes out.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this is a standard V-ribbed belt, meaning it's built to meet the original equipment specifications for your truck. It's made with durable rubber compounds designed to resist cracking and wear from heat and flexing. The V-ribbed design ensures it stays seated properly on the pulleys, which is important for smooth operation of all those accessories. It's a direct fit, so installation should be straightforward if you're comfortable working around the engine bay.
