I wanted a set of spares to carry. The ISL has a Cummins serpentine belt & a Dayco brand air conditioner belt. A little internetting & I found
Planet Auto Parts had the stuff:
Serpentine = Dayco part no. 5080685, 8 rib, 1.09"¯ wide, Metric No. 8PK1740, Effective Length 68.5"¯, for $28.10. This is not an exact replacement for Cummins no. 3289224, the OEM belt, as it is "cogged" along the ribs and Cummins isn't, but it'll do fine as a spare if not for life.
Air Conditioner = Dayco part no. 17475, Metric no. 13A1205, and is an exact OEM replacement for $10.40. The hardest part of the R&R was retensioning the AC belt, until I used a 3" C-clamp to compress the lock bolt on the radius braclet toward the end of the radius bracket; then it was easy. I put the clamp in my travelling tool kit.
$45.58 w/the $7 shipping.

E Mike, that is a worth of information and dealing in some various v belts I can tell you the savings over going to the manufacturer is huge.
Thank you.

Thanks Mike, I am going to place my order tonight. It will go in my spare parts kit along with the infamous charging relay.

At my local Cummins dealer, Cal Pacific, they carry the Original Equipment brand which is Gates Rubber, and total cost for both was $33.45
Cummins being an English company probably wanted the keep the business close to home as Gates is English also.

Also thanks EM: When I had my main belt changed last year I kept the old one. Now I can store a new one. I also lost the air cond. belt and don't have a spare.(yet)
I guess if I need to ask exactly what a 3" C clamp is I shouldn't put in my tool box. Is it a vice grip configuration?
Wayne: Inquiring minds need to know. What is the "infamous charging relay"?
Thanks guys

Chris I should have said solenoid. The one that looks like a ford starter solenoid. It controls charging of the chassis and house batteries by tying the 2 banks together so they can be charged by alternator or shore/generator power.

Search the Home Depot website for "C clamp". I would suggest you put it in your tool box even if you have to ask. They are cheap. You will find a use for it sooner or later. The vice grip model is different, but can serve many of the same purposes.

EM - I have read that panty hose can be used in place of the pully belt in an emergency.

Htg3- I usually store my big sweaty wad of money in my pantyhose. I guess I could carry an extra C-clamp for the BSWM and free up the PH for use in a belt emergency?

And the C-clamp can be adjusted easily as the BSWM is depleted.

This post started with info for the pre-ULSD-only ISL replacement belts.
For 08+ rigs, the ISL uses a single serpentine belt to run everything (no separate A/C belt), which is an 8-rib x 77" belt. I ordered a spare from Ryder Fleet Products for <$40 delivered. It is probably also available from local Freightliner & Spartan service outlets and might be slightly cheaper on a cash & carry basis. 08+ belt is Dayco part number 5080770, Cummins part number 3973181, and Gates part# K080770. In a pinch, a 1" shorter belt might do (but I wouldn't recommend leaving these belts on as a replacement): Napa 25-080760 or 25-080760HD, Goodyear 4080760, Dayco 5080770, ACDelco or CarQuest K080760HD; these shorter belts might overstress the tensioner pulley if left on for a lot of miles, but should do if the 77" belt isn't available.
Ryder also has a wide variety of other truck parts, including disc brake pads, Haldex air brake parts (emergency brake actuator stuff), etc.
