Gates 97-02 Dodge Ram Pickup V-10 8.0L Serpentine Standard V-Ribbed Belt

If you're working on your 1997-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with the V-10 8.0L engine, replacing the serpentine belt is a common maintenance task. This belt snakes around several pulleys, driving essential components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.

Gates is a well-known name in belts, and this standard V-ribbed belt is built to meet the demands of your truck. It's constructed with materials designed for good durability and consistent performance, ensuring it grips the pulleys properly without slipping. Proper tension and alignment are key during installation to get the most life out of the belt and ensure all your accessories work as they should.

When you're replacing your serpentine belt, it's a good time to inspect the condition of your pulleys for any signs of wear or wobble. This Gates belt is designed as a direct fit for your specific Ram truck, making the replacement straightforward.
