Technical / How-To Articles • Serpentine & Power Steering Belt

I might have missed this topic on here somewhere else, so if someone directs me there, that's great. I have an '11 AWD Limited Ecoboost. The other day, after taking off from a stop pretty hard, the A/C force dropped, check battery light blinked off and on, the light to service the AWD system came on, then the power steering went out. About this time, the battery light came on and stayed on. Made it home, battery was dead. After charging it, I tested and saw the the alternator wasn't putting out, so I assumed I'd start there. Turns out, the belt for the crank, A/C and Alternator shredded. This brings me to my two questions.

1. Is there a longer crank/a/c/alt belt other than the Dayco5060450 and its equivalents? Asking because even with the belt tensioner fully compressed, the belt seems about 1/2 inch too short.
2. Do all Flex have two belts? I've seen listings for Power steering belts, but just assumed it was run off the main accessory belt like other cars I've replaced belts on.

New to fiddling with the Flex and any guidance is appreciated.
