5k serpentine conversion?

[Peter Golledge]

Kurt,

As others have noted correct belts will hold, BTDT x 3  You can get
these for very reasonable prices from online sources (TPC,Vm Autohaus
etc).  Check also that the toothed "tensioner" is OK, these can be got
from the dealer for a couple of $$.  You might also want to check the
alignment of the pulleys....


Regards
