I've never seen a serpentine belt break - the only problem I've ever seen with one is the idler pulley on my sister's Saturn SL1 went out, and it has 109,000 miles on it...and even if something were to break, I COULD fix it on the road and not worry about it again...serpentine belts are EASY when you have the room. My V-belts are, however, not; that damn P/S belt is a two-person job with the truck jacked up.
Forgot about the water pump, but I do remember now that I'll need one with the reverse rotation.
If this ends up going well I may have a full set of bracketry up for sale.
