Those are the best belts out there you can get in my opinion....

 

yes I looked in the forum and found that info .
the Acdelco didnt last 2 months without start making noises

 

since I just replaced the belts today
I can tell you only the air intake needs to be removed . In my case I didnt have to cause the Airdoc give the needed clearance without having to remove it
if you wants to make it easier then removing the skid plate give you extra clearance from bottom
everything you need is a 15 socket and a ratchet
if you never replaced the belts , tensioner and pulleys then plan ahead and do all
not hard to do and cheap buys on Amazon

 

I would put money on the ac idler tension pulley (not sure if that is correct terminology). I too had that noise last winter and thought it was the fan clutch. Then one day while sitting in a drive thru i could smell burning plastic. Once i got my coffee, i popped the hood and there were little bits of plastic all over the engine. Tried to make it it home and made it a 100ft when the belts popped off.

sorry, just realized the party was already over. Lol

Very funny
But yes you were right . It was the Ac belt tensioner
