    I am looking to replace the alternator/fan belts, but can't seem to quite find the right part number. Could someone please advise? There are two of them, and I need to get them on order right away.
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.

    Maybe pull the belts and take them to the store? Usually they can measure them and match them up.
     
    Ruthless and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    Call Peterbilt with the vin number and they should be able to look it up.

    Seems like there are a couple of different possibilities like someone else said call Peterbilt with the vin number. I stopped to look on the truck I'm driving the numbers are gone lol
