I'm looking to replace my serpentine belt, pulley and tensioner. Anyone have a good deal that may also include AutoZone to replace all 3 at the same time? 2013 Tahoe LS

You will need an install tool as well like this: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2339232&cc=1505385&jsn=881
I looked this all up for the 5.3 engine.

Not to knock PNW above.. but you won't need that tool... I have it and I think it
is worthless...
The AC belts is stretch to fit - NO Tensioner
You can just zip tie it on the balancer partially and rotate the engine by hand
to work it over the AC compressor
I've always been partial to the GATES belts and tensioners.. But, Dayco or the
ACDelco is good stuff too.. Just stay away from the private label stuff- it sucks

I used a tool like this when I did my AC belt. It worked pretty well. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...r-installer-59370/10615598-P?searchTerm=59370
Yea, I actually own that tool as well, but when I looked up the belt kit I saw the one I posted and decided to post it from the same source as the kit. Looks like the one I recommended would be a bit tougher to use/set up. The one you posted, Lisle, is slick to use.

Can't fix stupid
Reminds me, i need to pick up a new AC belt.
I opted to cut it off when removing the balancer... lol
and i watched a youtube video a little while back, showing how to get the AC belt on by just rotating the engine.
Pretty much you put the belt on past the balancer pully, and the other end on the Compressor.
then rotate the engine with a 24mm socket (iirc) to pull the belt into place while guiding it with fingers...
I'm going to give it a shot here very soon.

A/C belt is such a PITA, I never service it. When it breaks, then I'll put on a new one.
easy 10 minute job, stay oem, can't go wrong just price your stuff on ebay/amazon/rockauto and pick the cheapest one
**edit sorry didn't see you were over the pond, ebay or amazon if you guys have it over there. rockauto wouldn't be much help due to shipping cost's

No Problem at all. I'm about to leave the U.K. (not bc of Brexit or new strain of Covid-19 that I developed) but time to move back to the good ole U.S. of A.

**Please Advise**. I drive a Tahoe so I'm incapable of getting Covid. Remarks are for FUN not FBI
You should be safe here in your Tahoe. After all, you will be on the right side of the road now and these rigs are like a big mobile mask.

I just bought a new Gates tensioner, pulley and belt and the new belt wouldn't fit on my 2015 Yukon Denali 6.2. The old tensioner pulley was squeaking so I replaced it and had to keep the original belt which has 160k on it. I checked the new belt to the old belt and even though they had the same numbers the old belt was more than a 1/2" longer than the new belt. I've pulled the new tensioner off and filed the stop so I can get more travel out of it and get the new belt to fit. Has anyone else seen this?
2015 is the NEWER direct injected engine..Maybe you got the wrong part number
2014- down would be the ones discussed here...
but it sounds like you got the wrong belt or wrong "kit" for your app
I wouldn't suggest modifying the tensioner.. It has a preset spring rate
to keep the correct "tension" on all the accessories

I've always used Gates products and haven't had any trouble.
