Yes thats it . get the part number and search for a Gates belt dealer . They can be had for half that price . That place is charging you double for it .

If you change to the 2.87 it will be the same. That belt only changes if you change out the cogged pulleys, not the serp pulley.

No forget NAPA. This happened to me last month, and they don't carry it at all. I had to order it online. I got two of them just incase this happens again, and I keep the extra one in my car.

If you are swapping from the 3.12 pulley to the 2.87 you would only need to replace the serp belt then!

You should only have to remove the middle pulley, wrap the belt around the two cog pulleys, and reinstall the middle pulley right over it.
