2000 Silverado serpentine belt replacement
I have a buddy with a 2000 chevy that needs the main drive belt replaced. it has the 5.3 liter V8 and he can't find the tensioner. Anybody know how to loosen the old belt? I haven't looked myself and he doesn't do a lot of mechanical work. Any help would be appreciated.

yep, hopefully the decal showing the routing is still on the radiator cover panel.
have him replace the AC belt while hes at it, they are recommended every 50K miles or so

Re: 2000 Silverado serpentine belt replacement
It's basically just a spring loaded tensioner. I forget if this is one with a bolt type head, or just a 3/8s square bit. The long serpentine tool like they sell in the parts store helps a ton on these.
