Bando USA 6PK2440 6-Rib Serpentine Belt 2440mm (96") — OEM-Quality EPDM, High-Strength Cords

Bando USA 6PK2440 is an OEM-quality 6-rib serpentine belt, 2440 mm (96") long, engineered from EPDM rubber for heat resistance and extended service life.

Bando has produced automotive rubber components for over a century and supplies original-equipment belts to many major vehicle manufacturers. The 6PK2440 serpentine belt is precision-ground to match OEM rib profiles and built with high-strength tensile cords to resist stretch under heavy loads. This belt fits a wide range of domestic and import cars, light trucks, and SUVs from various model years, offering a direct-replacement option where OEM specifications are required.

What makes this Bando belt meet OEM standards?

Bando manufactures belts using EPDM compound and a double-precision grinding process that reproduces the exact rib geometry OEMs demand. The combination of materials and manufacturing controls reduces slippage, improves heat tolerance, and maintains consistent pulley engagement over time.

• EPDM rubber compound for higher heat and ozone resistance
• Precision ground twice to ensure accurate rib profile
• High-strength tensile cords that resist elongation under load
• Produced to the same standards used for original equipment suppliers

How do I know if 6PK2440 is the right size for my vehicle?

The 6PK2440 designation means the belt has six ribs and an effective length of 2440 mm (96 inches). Fitment is vehicle-specific; verify this belt against your vehicle’s OEM part number, service manual, or a belt routing diagram to confirm compatibility before purchase.

• Size: 6 ribs × 2440 mm (96 in)
• Intended as a vehicle-specific direct replacement for listed models
• Cross-check your vehicle’s belt part number or online fitment guide
• Compatible with many older GM, Ford, Mercedes, Land Rover, and other models listed by year

How durable is this belt under heavy use?

The Bando 6PK2440 is designed for long-lasting performance. EPDM construction resists cracking and hardening from heat and ozone exposure, while the reinforced tensile cords carry higher horsepower loads without excessive stretch, reducing the need for early replacement.

• EPDM resists aging, heat, and ozone better than older compounds
• Tensile cords maintain belt tension and alignment under load
• Precision finishing minimizes premature wear on ribs and pulleys
• Manufactured by one of the world’s largest drive-belt producers for consistent quality
