There is only one belt on the 6.2.
Another good belt to have besides the stock one is this.

This belt will let you run the motor with out the Power Steering..
Ryckman was very thankful I had one on the Land Rash Raptor run. His P.S. pump locked up and the truck would have been parked or a lengthy pump exchange would have been needed. But I threw this belt on for him and he finished the last 200 miles or so. Granted he might have had a little arm pump going on but we kept him moving..

I moved the spare into the bed and secured it with ratchet straps. I know less than ideal. Then I took my daughter 2 tracking. The straps held tight. When I win the kick ass WSI rack I can upgrade.

Oddly enough, I sat in norway for 3 hours making phone calls to everywhere in the U.P. looking for a belt and even calling down to greenbay. I finally found a belt 2 miles from my house back in Rhinelander.... go figure. drove home and was there for about 15 minutes to put on new one and head back out to find the rest. got over half way to houghton to catch up and turned around and headed towards ishpeming when I finally got in touch with Jason.(lousy cell signal)
Also on one more note... I suggest spare belt to be carried.

Glad it worked out for you. Funny enough, the first thing I bought for my truck, besides gas, was an extra belt. Did you go to the Autozone across from the Walmart?

I will look up some of the repeater locations up there so anyone with a ham radio will be able to have a little bit longer communication range.. might be good in an emergency if we don't have cell

Exactly what I was thinking Gun. I'm a HAM and have already reached out to an IRLP Repeater owner up there. I plan on getting a new AARL Repeater Directory before we go too. Can't be too prepared!

Haven't really looked very hard but i'm assuming the serpentine belt is pretty easy to do? Can't go outside and take a look.

Post pre-run report on strapping your tire & jugs in the bed with ratchet straps. Everything held up fine, no broken straps, tire didn't come loose.
