Does anyone know the spec, or where to find the spec, for the serpentine belt length (or circumference) for a 1989 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) Limited with Air Conditioning and trailer towing package?
I believe this is the correct belt routing: 1989 Jeep Cherokee Limited, 4L Serpentine Belt Routing.
Just buy a belt for your year and application. If the length worries you, but dont want to remove yours just yet, take some string and tape it down to the belt, then follow it around the pullies. Everything Rockauto shows are between 102.4-103". Keep in mind that belts stretch over time, so those measurements may not be 100% spot on.
Any parts store or online vendor should have the right one. Have you tried to get one and had it be wrong or just overthinking it?
I'm probably overthinking it, but it seems to me that models without AC would have a shorter belt so I'm thinking there should be at least two different sizes but none of the online sources I've checked mentions fitment details related to AC.
