How Do I Know What Belt I Need?
I have a 1998 XJ that is in need of a new serpentine belt. I was shopping on rockauto.com today and there were 8 different ones that seemed to fit the description. They were all different lengths with different ribs, etc. How can I tell which one I need?

Easy way is to pull your belt and take it to a parts store and buy one that matches or is very slightly shorter. Kinda depend on how much yours is streched.
