New serpentine belts made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) do not crack like belts made before 2000 made of neoprene, and they can last much longer.

They do wear out however.

Visit Gates belts website - www.gatesbeltwear.com to see a discussion and get a free gauge.

They offer a free app or a free mechanical gauge.
