I have a 2005 2900 Open in Greenwich, CT and have twin Crusaders 6.0 L
Do you have the same or 350 ci ?

A quick search shows that it's a serpentine belt. The most important thing is that the belt length stays within the adjustment range of the belt tensioner. A quick reference for the difference in length didn't come up with a quick search, so you may have to compare them yourself. The safest thing is to go with the specified belt so there's some wiggle room if it stretches. You can always sell your spare belt on ebay.

I measured the belts the new ones are a little shorter. I tried to put on but didnt work. Does anyone know where I can replacements belts?

I would bring the proper ones (r066030) to an automotive store & let them get you a properly sized one. Crusader belts are made by another OEM under contract so just buy one of good quality, ie not the cheapest one! My engine uses V-belts, but I just took my old ones to Napa & they got me same sized replacements. Been using them for a few years now with no problems.
