It's the belt the runs and turns all of the necessary engine components like the alternator, AC compressor, engine fan, waterpump, crankshaft, and others as well. It's the same kind of belt as in all engines..except on the Ram all of the components were designed in an alignment so that only 1 belt operates all devices. Hence someone coined "serpentine"...meaning "snakelike". Most engines have more than 1 belt.
