With only 7700 miles I thought I would install a new Serpentine Belt. My reasoning was because I like to have a spare.

Called the dealer and they did not stock it but would have to special order it. I asked if it was the same as for the GT and they said no, it was different. PN 8620, Belt number JK6-947-A

Did a little research and thought I would try the Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V belt. Called the local dealer from the Goodyear website and they did not show a listing for the Bullitt. For the GT they showed a 4060935. That breaks down to a 93.5 inch belt with six ribs wide.

Called another Ford dealer and he said he did have the belt, I asked if he knew what size it was and he said it was 93.5 inches long. Whoops... Called another dealer and he looked up the Bullitt belt, said he had to order it and that it was 94.7 inches long. OK this made sense because our water pump pulley is larger than the standard GT.

So the Bullitt belt is 94.7 inches long.

Called the Goodyear dealer back and he had a belt in either 94.5 inches or 95.0 inches. I went with the 94.5 inch belt which in theory should make it .2 inches smaller, should not be a problem.

Belt went on no problem. Measured the old belt and it was a little under 95 inches. So all of that adds up.

After I got the belt off.... I found a HOLE in the middle of the width of the belt. Rubber was missing from inside and outside of the belt had four cracks spreading out from the hole. Guess it will still do for a spare.
