Got a 97 Camaro 3.8 with a/c. Anyone got part numbers of the gm belt or some other one ? I searched but saw mixed results with the gatorback. How is the good old ac delco belt ? Thanx. Oh and also is this a hard process ?

Quoted from autozone.com:
KELLY_SPRINGFIELD 945K6 $18.99
GATORBACK 4060945 $24.99
I have the standard belt (945k6) installed on my 96 3.8 for over three years now, and it's still in excellent shape.
If I was to rate the belt installation on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the easiest and 10 being the hardest) I'd say this project would be a 1. All you will need is a 1/2" ratchet-drive to put on the tensioner then slowly turn to loosen the belt, and a diagram of the belt routing which should be on a sticker under the hood.
Thats it, nothing else to it! It takes me about a minute or two to replace my belt.sigpic -

I replaced mine maybe 2 years ago and still looks good.

Last summer I had underdrive pulleys installed on my car and had to replace the belt with a different one of course and now less than a year later the belt has 4 out of the 6 ribs almost completely worn away while the other 2 are almost perfect. It has to be from the new pulleys somehow but I thought it was weird for it to wear that way. They were ASP pulleys. Anyone else see anything like this before?Newfoundlands Camaro & Firebird Enthusiast Site<br /><a href=\"http://www.nf-fbody.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.nf-fbody.com</a>Comment

That's what I assumed too but I just thought it was weird that the whole belt didn't wear out opposed to only those 4 ribs. That's what I get for bringing the car to a garage to install them I guess :rolleyes:most likely ur pullies are out of alignmentNewfoundlands Camaro & Firebird Enthusiast Site<br /><a href=\"http://www.nf-fbody.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.nf-fbody.com</a>Comment

Re: Serpentine belt replacement need sugestions
Either it was a wrong size too tight or wasn't set in the grooves on one of the pulleys and shreded off. If stock and no A/C deletes I bet it wasn't set in the grooves right or lined up.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake
