[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1044899, member: 74901"] The 4060870 belt does fit the V6~4.0L~SOHC; understand fitment specs at Amazon\Ebay\LocalPartsCounter are not absolute gospel. Thats the part on my engine now without issue & without any noise\slip. GoodYearGatorBack & ContinentalElite are the same belt, just different branding\packages; understand Continental is a division of GoodYear; think about Lincoln as a division of Ford with identical products in slightly different packages. Belt tensioner allows for an inch+ variation in length, recommend one slightly shorter than the MotorCraft OEM. A belt longer than the OEM will obviously be too loose; one too short makes problems getting it on & will likely excessively stress pulley bearings. Best to use what makes you comfortable, your vehicle, your judgement call. [ATTACH type="full" alt="2001.Ford_Engi.Belt_4of4_Tens_Ford.1L5e-6b209-ac.GIF"]2783[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
