At my last service it was suggested that both belts should be changed in the near future.
In a moment of keenness I purchased a new v belt for the AC and a serpentine belt intending to replace them myself. The moment never came, I decided to leave it to next service.
That service took place today. I was advised the belt I had supplied was the wrong one, too short.
I’d assumed the parts place I’d used for years would get it right na hadn’t checked
This afternoon I looked up the Gates catalogue to see what was what.
I was sold, some 7 months ago now, receipt long gone, a 6PK1495. The correct one apparently is a 6PK1515. A grand difference of 20mm.
According to the catalogue, the 6PK1495 fits the RWD version of both the challenger and MN Triton.
The 4wd versions take the 6PK1515.
Both have the same 2.5L engine.
Does anyone know WTF the difference is between the 2 engines? Surely Mitsubishi didn’t need to change something?
