Replaced the serpentine and a/c belt, along with the tensioner and idler pulley. Bought it as a kit last month because in cold weather my tensioner/belt makes a funny noise.

The belts actually looked decent, no cracks in the ribs, so I'm keeping them as backups. Who knows when they were replaced last. I bought the vehicle in August 2018 with 105k on it. One owner trade-in on new vehicle at GMC dealership, so they might've replaced them before they put it up for sale.

Took me a while to figure out the Lisle stretch belt tool to get the old belt off and new belt on. I was just going to cut off the old belt, but the numbers stamped on it indicating the length was about 2" longer than the new one, so I wanted to save it in-case the new one didn't fit and I could put the old one back on.

Also replaced the autoride air compressor. Those metal wire clips that secure the air lines are little bitches to get back on the connector if it pops off. I had two of them do that and after spending about 20 mins f*ing with it finally figured out a way that worked well and was able to do the other one in like a minute...lol.

All total took about 2 hours

I just replaced all my compressor air lines. I didn’t have a problem with the clips, but getting the new hose connectors to seat was hard. I had to use dish soap. Once the connectors are all the way seated, I just popped the clips on.

I just rotate the little metal clips out of the groove to remove them, then spin them back into the grooves before reinstalling them.

I think that's a splash shield. I don't think the plastic would hold up well as an actual skid plate.

How does it hold the phone while vertical like that?

Its a magnetic charger. I have an iPhone 12 mini in a life-proof case.
I bought this charger but came with a vent clamp. All the balls for these mounts are the same so I picked up these and swapped the stick on base to the charger and mounted it to the side of the head unit. I needed to add a magnet ring to the back of my case so I used one of these on the back of the case. I am powering this setup with this 21w adapter.

I was wondering if it's magnetic or what. Then was wondering how the phone magnetically stuck to it and was still able to charge. Those stick on metal rings answer my question.

Yes, when the clips are on the ends, but when the clip is off, totally out of the slot, it's a bit more difficult.

I still had the factory white plastic clips that slide off, but ended up breaking because of being brittle from age, so I had to attach the metal clips.
