[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 981359, member: 69241"] Serpentine belts develop cracks over time, the same as cars that have rubber timing belts. It's very easy to check the condition of your serp belt; look at where it passes over the water pump rib side up. If it needs to be changed you don't need to pull off the fan shroud. My son has my old '02 Gen1, and it has original tensioner on it at 100K miles and no problems. I haven't priced them, but don't think they're all that much, so replacing yours might be worth peace of mind for your trip. [/QUOTE]
