Ford Replacement Belts Are Online
Ford replacement belts, either serpentine or V-belts, should be easy to find. Everyone knows that Ford pioneered mass production via the assembly line, but few know that they were also the first to use a serpentine belt instead of a V-belt to drive the car's peripherals. The 1979 Ford Mustangs used this new technology. It took a decade for the rest of the industry to catch up.
This may seem like a small first, but it changed, once again, the way cars were built. Taking advantage of the power a larger, longer belt provides, one belt can be used to power all of the peripherals, reducing the number of parts that can break and cause damage and simplifying the whole design.
If you are replacing the serpentine belt in your car, you'll need very few tools: just the replacement and a half-inch-drive socket set or breaker bar. The hard part about this job is getting it wrapped around the right parts in the right order. It's fairly easy to do this in a car. In a truck, you may need some help to reach the bottommost parts while you thread the top. There should be a diagram of the routing, either on the radiator or under the hood. If you can't find it, draw your own diagram before you remove the old belt.
