I have 70K miles on it, but I just replaced the serpentine 6 months ago (oem manufacturer but not oem) when i did the thermostat and water pump. I had a 2-3K miles on it which made me think it wasn't incorrect install or it would have failed much sooner. Just in case I was going to replace the pulleys this time.
Get OEM this time (Conti). I am about to replace all the pulleys and belts on my 95K mi 3.0i, with metal impeller water pump. Thermostat was taken care of 5K mi ago.
