I finally got around to replacing the belts (4 D@mn belts) tonight. What a PITA!!! Whoever came up with the serpentine setup should get a Nobel prize!!! Only the p/s pump belt looked bad...but it’s the most inboard belt!!! So I replaced them all. The new Gates belts seem to actually fit the 3 v-groove locations better than the previous belts. The alternator is actually a 5-rib serp style belt and it was fine, but damn not replacing it.
