Belt question

[Rainer1965]

Hi all, anyone out there who could advise what belt I need? From alternator to vacuum pump, a 91 E350 with 7.3Diesel engine as motorhome base. Has an a/c

Thanks in advance from Germany

I believe they are all the same truck or van. If not, someone will chime in...Have a good day

A/C: 17630......A/C to WP & Crank (13A1600)
VP: 15325......VP to ALT (11A0825)
PS: 17600......PS to WP & Crank (13A1525)
ALT: 17425......Short belt from ALT to WP only (13A1080)...Eliminates vibration that long belt develops (not a Gold)

I looked on Autozone, it verifies a e350 alternator to vacuum pump as a 15325. That breaks down into a 15mm wide belt (15325) that is 32 1/2 inches long (15325)

Oh great, just like the rest of the engine bay...mix and match metric and SAE.
Makes perfect sense Ford!

My hatred for Ford mixing standard fastener size aside, great post.

I'll toss in my belt sizes just to confuse things. I believe I have stock numbers rather than sizes.

AC/WP/Crank---Gates Green Stripe 9630HD

VP/Alt---Gates XL 7320

PS/WP/Crank---Gates Green Stripe 9600HD

Alt/WP/Crank---Gates Green Stripe 9580HD

These are the belts Calvin recommended to me as the best/longest lasting.

That last belt, the 9580HD, is apparently the hard one to find. I finally found it on Amazon, HERE.

Calvin told me that it was the one belt he had found which could best tolerate the "flapping" which that long belt has.

If I'm right on this, the Ford parts use metric fasteners while the International/Navistar parts use standard fasteners. Your hatred is only half placed in the right area.

Those belt numbers are standard for certain brands of belts. You will find some that will list that belt as a 15325, and some will put the length first and list it as a 32515. The stores usually carry two main widths, 13mm and 15mm. A 32 inch belt that is 13mm wide would be a 13320.
