Sqeeking Belts on LBZ's

[StewieTuned]

Initially there was a clutched alternator available. That was too expensive for gm (my assumption) so they pulled it quick !

Right now the fix that has fixed em all for me is the LMM belt. It's a sopfter tackier belt and i have ZERO COMPLAINTS on this belt.

Mine has had the squeak for about 23,000 miles and it really makes a noise when the engine is shut down. Might see what the dealer will do when I take the truck in for the steering shaft fix.

Good luck. They wanted me to leave my truck over night. What was I to drive?

So, I still have a sqeeky belt every now and then..

Going to have to see if they will do this at the dealership for me. Thanks Greg.

I was not aware they were the same size belt.
