So no one has thought to check the Parts Manual for the number?
Join me as we take a magical journey down the TM rabbit hole.
Lets see it is a M998 so the parts TM will be TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 (available in the TM forum for free)
Looking up belts in the index it shows Group 05 - 0505 - Fan assemblies and belts, Diagram 32
Going to diagram 32, yep that looks like it.
The belts are Item #2 and on page 32-1 it shows 2 parts numbers are used for different vehicles. 43-5791 and 5598213. Which one is correct?
The part numbers are tied to a UOC. What in the world is that? Maybe the the manual will tell us. Going back to the top of the manual you can search for UOC. Well what do you know. On page 5 it has an explanation of what UOC means and a table of all the different vehicles.
Seeing that a M998 is listed it has a UOC of H13.
Now back to the part numbers on page 32-1. The H13 uses belt #43-5791. Let's go with that.
Plugging that number into
www.napaonline.com interchange does not show anything. Now what? I wonder if various part numbers where interchanged. Let's go see.
www.wbparts.com is a great website that shows the various interchangeable part numbers
http://www.wbparts.com/nsndetail.cfm?NIIN=003792815&pn=43-5791
12339359-15
15500 SET 2
5141704
7500 SET2
etc
Lets see if Napa can interchange any of these.
Using the first number it shows 2 belts that interchange, PBH 15500 and NBH 257500. Looks like we have a winner.
Also many of the other numbers listed interchange with the same Napa numbers.
So there you go. Hope you had a fun ride.
The belt number for a M998 is:
PBH 15500 or NBH 257500
