Why Your Chevy AC Belt Broke (And The Exact Kit You Need)

Why Did My Chevy AC Belt Shred? If your AC suddenly quit working and you crawled underneath to find a completely shredded belt, you're not alone! In this video, we diagnose a common issue on the Chevy 6.0 engine: frozen tensioner pulleys. A lot of people just replace the snapped belt, but if the tensioner is locked up, the friction will just melt and snap your new belt all over again. We’re looking at why it’s always smarter to grab the complete kit—getting the tensioner pulley and belt together. It usually only involves two bolts, doesn't cost much more, and saves you a massive headache down the road. Pro-Tip for the Chevy 6.0: When you're tackling this job, remember that you do not have to remove the fan to route the belt. Skipping that step will save you a ton of time in the shop! 🛒 Get the Parts Used in This Video: https://geni.us/qLSEw - Complete Chevy 6.0 and AC Belt & Tensioner Kit OR https://geni.us/rXAEs- Complete Chevy 6.0 AC Belt & Tensioner Kit Recommended 3/8" Tensioner Tool / Mechanic Gear : https://geni.us/l6tvuN : BILITOOLS 15-Piece Universal Serpentine Belt Tool Set, Ratcheting Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool Kit OR https://geni.us/qIBcwA5 : 15PCS Serpentine Belt Tool Set, Professional Ratcheting Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool 【Compatible With Chevy】 A/C Tensioner Pulley Fits for Chevy Avalanche 2007-2008; Avalanche 1500 2002-2006; Express 1500 2003-2008; Express 2500 2003-2008; Express 3500 2003-2008; Silverado 1500 1999-2008; Silverado 1500 HD 2001-2006; Silverado 2500 1999-2004; Silverado 2500 HD 2001-2008; Silverado 3500 2001-2006; Silverado 3500 HD 2007-2008; Suburban 1500 2000-2008; Suburban 2500 2000-2008; Tahoe 2000-2008 【Compatible With GMC】 A/C Tensioner Pulley Fits for GMC Savana 1500 2003-2008; Savana 2500 2003-2008; Savana 3500 2003-2008; Sierra 1500 1999-2008; Sierra 1500 Classic 2007; Sierra 1500 HD 2001-2006; Sierra 1500 HD Classic 2007; Sierra 2500 1999-2004; Sierra 2500 HD 2001-2008; Sierra 2500 HD Classic 2007; Sierra 3500 HD 2001-2006; Sierra 3500 HD Classic 2007; Sierra 3500 HD 2007-2008; Yukon 2000-2008; Yukon XL 1500 2000-2008; Yukon XL 2500 2000-2008【Compatible With Escalade & H2】 A/C Tensioner Pulley Fits for Cadillac Escalade 2002-2008; Cadillac Escalade EXT 2002-2008; Cadillac Escalade ESV 2003-2008; Hummer H2 2003-2008 What we cover in this video: Diagnosing a shredded AC belt on an older Chevy Why tensioner pulleys freeze up and destroy belts The benefits of buying a belt + tensioner kit instead of just the belt A look at the old, worn-out pulley vs. the fix Don't forget to Like and Subscribe for more reviews and repair tips! 🍿 WATCH THE FULL MOVIE Check out my latest film, "The Courier," right here:    • THE COURIER (Full Movie) Action Thriller s...   🔗 CONNECT WITH ME All My Links: https://linktr.ee/gregsabo Business Inquiries: [email protected] 🛠️ MY BUSINESSES & PROJECTS Zabo Customs:    / @zaboscustoms   Sabosstudios LLC: www.sabostudios.com DISCLOSURE: I am an Amazon Influencer and a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
