I have a 1999 Volvo/Penta 5.7 GSi. From the factory it came with separate v-shaped belts. I know the newer 5.7's are shipping with serpentine pulleys and belts.
Clearly the benefit of a serpentine belt is durability, ease of replacement and constant tension (no adjustment)--all of which improve reliability...
I'm needing to replace my alternator and was wondering, while I'm at it, is it possible (or worth it) to replace the other pulleys and upgrade to a serpentine belt system?
Thanks...
