Forever is an awfully long time....
Neighbor's 46 Ford is still on the same fanbelt that he installed in the early 60's and he drives it daily from when the snow melts in the spring until it comes back in the fall..
Light loading on the belt will allow it to last a long time - certainly not forever though... The neighbor's car runs the water pumps, generator and fan..
