What is the size for a stock 98 Gt belt?

[5spd GT]

Mine is starting to squeek constantly...I'm assuming the belt.

What size do I need? Serpentine?

Any part numbers for some local parts stores?

Thanks!

Just go to Pep Boys, give them your Year/Make/Model and ask for a gatorback belt.

And yes its serpentine.

If you call a Ford dealer they will tell you 98.2", but a 97.5" belt is what most autoparts stores will sell you and they will work fine. I see here where someone recommenced a Gatorback but I would like to recommend a Gates Poly V-belt. I have had two cars since 1989, both Mustang GT's and both have run Gates serpentine belts exclusively. One car had 130,000 miles on it when I sold it. After changing the factory belt, that was in horrible condition at 30,000 miles, only had to change belts twice more with Gates. The one I took off at 100,000 miles looked in great shape and I sold the car with the second swap on there. My father in-law, also a career car guy who taught an engine repair class at a local community college for 20years, swears by them. You can find them at www.oreillyauto.com or at NAPA.

I got one where I work here at Napa and it makes no noise or anything. I agree i hate gatorbacks they suck in my opinion
