Bought a used 2001 Chevy truck a couple of weeks ago with a very squeaky belt. So now you have a video on how to change the belt!
Other vehicles with a similar method to replace the fan belt…
Silverado 1999 – 2006
Sierra 1999- 2006
Suburban 2000 – 2006
Yukon 2000 -2006
Avalanche 2002-2006
The video also shows something wrong by the fan belt area. Can you guess it? No it isn’t the cut in the top shroud.

Thank you for showing us brother
thank you for your video I could not figure out how to get the belt back on even with the diagram. when you showed the loop you first make over the crank pulley I finally got it! THANK YOU!!!!!
i just changed my alternator , trying to replace belt now, it seems the belt is about 1/2 inch to small, and yes ive done this many time with different vehicles , cake walk but ive nvr had this issue , is the 5.7 and 5.3 alternator different in size, from the cntr of the bolt holes to the cntr of the alt shaft, this is a super easy job ,ive got some parts mismatched i do think , hmmm chit ……………………..
Very clear Fox, this is excellent!! You saved me a lot of time and money.
thanks made it super easy
not for 5.7 for on lookers
Just used the video to determine the proper belt path. Original stickers were missing due to panels that were replaced from prior accidents.
Thanks, helped a brotha out.
THANKS TO YOU I JUST MAY
GET MINE BACK ON.
WHAT A PAIN FOR ME TO PUT BACK ON.
SERPENTINE'S ALWAYS GIVE TROUBLE.

THANKS AGAIN
thanks m8! just changed my belt, 5 minute job on an 05 sierra 1500 with the 5.3. I actually didn't need to remove the manifold from my throttle body as there was adequate clearance. I also turned the "other" counter-clockwise to loosen the tensioner 😉
"turn the belt tightener counter clockwise to loosen the belt enough to remove it"…the other counterclockwise ya knucklehead! WOO WOO WOO WOO…….
awesome video !
perfect description of a how to thanks
which code on the service parts id is for the alternator?
Thank you, y'all just saved me 800.00 bucks
