Re: belt length?
You're 6.0 looks just like my 5.3 and it has a Dayco belt part# 5060930.

Re: belt length?
I would just call an auto store and give them the year truck it came out of and that should give them all they need. But Yes I bet the 5.3 and 6.0 are the same.

I did that and the belt I got was too long. Best bet is to measure it with a string or something and then take that measurement to the auto parts.

Re: belt length?
Well that seems weird since it is all "factory" I assume. I would think the string thing would be hard with the tensioner trying to get it pre loaded.

I thought the same thing and it was definitely too long. Surprised the crap out of me.

Re: belt length?
After looking at the pictures above and a belt diagram online I might have routed mine wrong. I will get the same belt today and double check it again and let you know for sure.

Re: belt length?
I did have the right part# after all, I just didn't route it correctly. Dayco P/N 5060923 6PK2345
Here is what the belt routing should look like:
