I sympathize, though I'm quite accustomed to both name mis-spellings and being
referenced a 'she'. So it goes. Thanks, dad...who, ironically, is named

months, whichever comes first.

Nope, it's just a mileage thing, though I *can* tell you, if anti-freeze/coolant
gets on the belt from the cooling system, it **will** shorten the belt's life.
I learned this on a Chrysler 3.5L V-6, on the side-of-the-road.
