        Belt fit perfect on my 98 dodge dakota WITH a/c....i seen some of the reviews claim the belt was too short. this belt is for vehicles using air conditioning. the less expensive belt (the shorter belt) is for vehicles w/o a/c....states at bottom of description.

                      This belt lasted 1 month before it shredded and came apart. I'm hoping it was just a defective part as I'm replacing it with the same product under warranty. We'll see.
