Changing Belts, Tensioners Rainier 5.3L

[iceflow]

Folks,
I've done timing belts, serpentine belts etc in the past so am reasonably clued in.....but am about to pull both belts and associated pulleys / tensioners off the Rainier, have not done this job on this vehicle before? From what I can gather the tensioner assy's have a dimple or notch that mates up to the block so they can be installed in the correct position. It all sounds pretty straightforward....but I'm never too proud to ask.

Thanks

Yep, pretty straight forward.

But just a little info, I think there is only one tensioner and the idler is usually the pulley that fails.

Appreciate it, thanks. I did find on you tube some videos from a company called 1A Auto. For anyone interested search under V8, Tahoe, Envoy Serpentine belt and you should see hits on both a/c and serp belt swaps and associated idlers and tensioners. It looks straightforward, so will have at it when parts arrive.

Thanks
