I replaced mine at about 90k. It was dried and cracked, and I didn't want to chance a failure. I replaced it with one from Auto Zone, and at some 58k it is show little to no wear or deterioration.

I bought my truck with 20K and have 100K now.

I replaced the serpentine at ~40K and ~80K due to wear and squeaks

So...I guess about every 40K

First was from the a local Oil Change shop ( so I'm not sure the brand )

Second was from the Dealer...

I replaced mine the other day because it wouldn't stop squeeking. I used a Goodyear Gatorback as suggested by others on this site and it's completely silent. Don't know haw many miles on the old one.
