1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Serpentine and V Belts

The front-end accessory drive system on this vehicle has historically had problems with detaching belts in rain and snow. Many of the problems have been the result of system misalignment and/or water ingression. Not being satisfied with the solutions available to consumers, Litens (the world’s largest Original Equipment suppliers of tensioners) re-engineered the drive and created this “fix-kit”. The kit consists of a new tensioner with a grooved pulley (the original tensioner has a smooth pulley) , a new grooved routing idler (the original is smooth), and a double-sided serpentine belt. The grooves on the belt “lock-into” the grooves on the tensioner and routing pulleys making it near impossible to throw the belt. This system will solve the belt throwing problem once and for all! Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products. At Litens, we design systems that are more efficient, resulting in tangible fuel economy/emissions benefits. Litens holds over 2000 patents and continues to respond to the ever-changing automotive industry by investing heavily in new technology, facilities, and people. 90% of our line is made of products coming from the OE manufacturer, which makes the Litens Tensioning Products portfolio the purest OE tensioning line in the North American aftermarket.

ACDelco Professional, premium aftermarket V-Belts serve as replacement belts for today’s most demanding engine drives. Due to thermal forces, these variable notched belts actually tighten on the drive as they get hot. This results in improved belt performance by reducing tension, decay, and noise. These premium aftermarket replacement v-belts are manufactured to meet or exceed your expectations for fit, form, and function.

Product Features:

• Its fiber loaded rubber stock puts more flexibility along the length of the belt, yet gives the belt greater lateral stability in the pulley
• Has thermally active tensile cords that provide maintenance free performance when properly installed and tensioned
• Manufactured with form ground to ensure precise top width and sidewall dimensional control for proper fit in the pulley as well as a smoother, quieter running belt

ContiTech Serpentine Belts come in a wide range of sizes and are designed to be oil-resistant and temperature-stable from -22F to 176F (-30C to 80C). ContiTech Serpentine Belts deliver 98% power efficiency. While a lower profile design easily handles higher engine revs, reducing noise and providing cooler running temperatures. High performance construction features include polychloroprene rubber cover and body, polyester fiber tensile members, and a ribbed belt design. Installation Note: The manufacturer recommends checking and/or replacing idler and tensioner bearings when replacing the serpentine belts

Product Features:

• OE-Equivalent.
• Direct fit for easy installation.
• Resistant against wear, oil and heat.
• Temperature-stable from -22F to 176F (30C to 80C).
