Many serpentine's go 100,000 miles.

My 2011 6.0L Chevy has two, the second is for the AC.

I changed them at 100,000 miles and neither one of them had a single crack in them and still looked great.

The same truck doesn't have a petcock to drain the radiator. The only way to drain the cooling system is to remover the lower hose and let it gush out all over the place.

Now there's some high tech engineering.

The old v-belts didn't last nearly as long as the newer serpentine belts do.
