Ok, i've searched and could not find my answer. First off, after finding out i need to order a new exhaust due to rusting, i figured i would check to see if the truck needed anything else while i was going to be ordering parts. I noticed the engine belts were wearing and even cracking in some places. My question is what exact belts do i need to order? a serpentine and a v-belt?

Also when installing, how do i go about getting the belt around the fan?

Unfortunately, we can't tell you what belts you need until you tell us what year your Pathy is.

there are three accessory belts. One for starter/crankshalf/water pump/fan, power steering, and air compressor. Shouldn't be that hard to get them out. But watch out for stuck belt tensioner.

I looked at 2001 owners manual. It says two engines, 3.3 and 3.5. 3.3L has three belts anf 3.5L has two.

I thought 2001 is all 3.5L. Maybe 2001 is 3.3L and 2001.5 is 3.5L?
