Serpitine? They go under my truck not on it. It's olllld!
But it's not uncommon for a broken belt to break others also.
Nothin wrong with that. I'd rather a vehicle have 3 or 4 single belts for ease of maint although serpentine belts last much longer the components don't necessarily.
Biggest issue is a roadside repair on my Dodge at least the serp belt is ridiculously difficult to replace. I've replaced it twice. Once just cuz it had 100k on it, no issues and again because the power steering leaked all over it and ruined it. Squealed incessantly.
Both times took about 2 hrs of cussing to get it on. I do most all my own work on vehicles since I was a kid and the belt on this truck is ridiculous.
