Ford v10 serpentine belt replacement
2 questions... How hard is it to replace? And to make sure I get the right length, should I just go to the ford dealer?

One little trick that makes installing a new belt easier, is to get a few of those big metal paper clips; the kind that grip 20 or 30 pages together. You can use those clips to clamp the new belt to a few of the pulleys. Check the idler pulleys, but it's highly advised to replace the tensioner pulley at the same time(youtube has a pro video on that). Be extra careful that the belt is seated perfectly before you start the rig. It can tear a new belt instantly if not seated correctly.
