Should I change supercharger and A/C belts on my GT500?

[tomf]

My 2007 GT500is garage kept. It has about 34,000 miles on it. The above mentioned belts look ok and are the originals. With the car being 14 years old now should I change them>

Its your car, and your money.
I say why not. Good piece of mind.
Cars like "fresh parts"

I changed both due to their age. Probably didn't need to, but it made me feel better and gave me piece of mind. It's easy to do and the belts are not expensive, so why not?

Stupid question: Can the belts be changed from the top, without jacking the car up or working underneath? Thanks.

 

[VNMOUS1]

Absolutely

I did it that way. Very easy. Take some pics before you do it as reference in case you forget how it goes on, and get a diagram 0f the routing if you've never done it before.

Gates RPM belts have been working well for me with a 2.9L Whipple Gen 4 w/ 3.00" pulley and idler.

I believe Ford no longer makes the supercharger belt. Last time I checked.

are both the belts the same? If so do you just buy two the same ones.

No, two different serpentine belts. Here are the part numbers I ordered for stock length belts for my 2008:

@SCGallo2 i am a noob. Ain’t afraid to admit I don’t I saw your post above. Are these 2 part numbers ok for someone with: 09 , stock blower, 2.5 pulley, 90mm idler (only)? Thanks

I believe VMP is comfortable running your pulley configuration with a stock length supercharger belt. My stock blower configuration was a 2.6" pulley and Metco Aux idler with stock belt, which provided more belt wrap around the supercharger pulley. The accessory belt will definitely work.
