Goodyear Serpentine Belt 6-Rib 80.5" (6PK2045) — EPDM, Balanced-Twist Cord for Quieter, Long-Lasting Drive

Goodyear Belts 1060805 is a 6-rib, 80.5-inch multi V serpentine belt engineered from EPDM rubber and balanced-twist polyester cord to restore drive efficiency and long service life.

This replacement serpentine belt is built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, giving quieter operation, reduced slippage, and dependable performance for accessory drives. Designed for straightforward installation and reliable everyday use, the Goodyear 6PK2045 (also listed as 1060805) brings an OE-grade compound and construction to passenger cars, light trucks, and industrial engines that use a 6-rib accessory drive.

How does this belt improve engine accessory performance?

The Multi V cross-section design increases surface contact with pulleys, which improves torque transfer and reduces belt slip under load. EPDM compound resists heat and ozone, helping preserve flexibility and prevent cracking over time.

• Multi V profile for better pulley grip and consistent power delivery
• EPDM rubber resists aging, heat, and environmental degradation
• Balanced-twist polyester cord maintains dimensional stability under tension

Will it fit my vehicle and what size is it exactly?

This specific belt measures 80.5 inches (2045 mm) in effective length and uses a six-rib section ideal for systems calling for 6PK2045. Always verify your vehicle’s OEM part number or measure your existing belt to confirm compatibility before purchase.

• Length: 80.5 in / 2045 mm
• Rib count: 6 (6PK section)
• Alternate part number reference: 6PK2045

What materials and construction give it longer life?

The belt combines an EPDM rubber compound with a balanced-twist polyester cord core to resist stretch and environmental breakdown. That combination delivers quieter operation and extends replacement intervals compared with older rubber formulations.

• EPDM compound for improved ozone, heat, and oil resistance
• Balanced-twist polyester cord for uniform strength and reduced elongation
• Multi V ribs evenly distribute load and minimize noise

How should I install and maintain a replacement serpentine belt?

Installation generally requires loosening or moving the belt tensioner to remove the old belt and routing the new belt per the engine’s diagram. Periodically inspect for glazing, fraying, or cracking and check tensioner operation to maximize belt life.

• Follow factory routing diagram for correct pulley path
• Use proper tension—check the tensioner or measure deflection
• Inspect periodically for wear, contamination, and proper seating on ribs

Who this belt is for: The Goodyear 1060805 / 6PK2045 suits vehicle owners, independent mechanics, and fleet managers looking for a durable, OE-comparable serpentine belt for 6-rib accessory drives. It’s ideal when you need a reliable replacement that reduces noise and maintains accessory performance without frequent rework.
