Who has the correct Ford number or Napa number for the fan belt?

"Phelpo's" profile indicates he has a "2002 Newmar Kountry Star 35' Ford V-10" His chassis is probably a 2001 or 2002.

I wish folks that post questions would realize how hard it is to provide good answers with the lack of information they give with their question.

While I don't know the part number I highly recommend the Goodyear Gatorback Poly V-Belt. Search out an Autoparts store that carries Goodyear belts and have them lookup up the part number. (You can use the link below)

I replaced the serpetine belt on my '97 Aerostar a few years ago two or three times within a 3 month period with NAPA's best "lifetime" belt and couldn't keep it from squealing. Drove across town to dealer that carried the Goodyear brand and haven't had any problem in the years that have passed since! They're covered by a lifetime warranty so don't throw it away if it ever fails.

Looks like Autozone either has them or can get them.

When I changed mine last spring Goodyear did not make one for the V10.I got one at a Car Quest. The part # is K081102,and it is made by Gates. It was either them or Fords and the Gates was about $20 cheaper.

You have two belts. Think the one I had a problem getting the correct size was the alt. belt. I would purchase both of the alt. belts, use the one you removed from the rig and match it up and return the other. Saves several trips, especially if they don't have the one you need.

Autozone online shows a Gatorback belt for the Ford F550 SuperDuty stripped chassis with a V-10 for (no online listing for a F-53) for 2000 through at least 2004.

The part# is 4081102 - Price is $37.88 (have the counterman verify the pn for you)

The same pn is listed for the stripped chassis and w/o stripped chassis and with AC and w/o AC.

If I was going through the trouble of changing the belt, I'd go out of my way to use one of these belts knowing how it performed on my Aerostar when compared to the NAPA/Gates belt I tried to use. That was 4 years ago now. The NAPA belt didn't last 3 months before it started squealing and slipping. I tried cleaning the pulleys, belt dressing and replacing the tension idler before I went with the Goodyear Gatorback. I could have saved myself a lot of time and trouble - I was trying to replace a Goodyear belt and didn't realize there was such a difference. NAPA was the closest autoparts to me at the time so I went there for a belt first. Live and learn.
