My 2000 has 70K miles on it. Upon inspection, my drive belt (serpentine belt) appears in good shape, with no visable cracks etc. The manual is a bit vague about this, but it seems to say replace when wear shows up on inspection.
As a matter of practice, what do you guys usually do about this ?
Thanks !!

Now longitudinal cracks, cracks running parallel to the edges of the belt, are a different thing entirely and bad news. When those cracks appear, the belt is nearly at the point of failure and it's definitely time to replace it.
