Default 2010 Denali Underdrive pulley PROBLEM!

Long story shot took my asp under-drive pulley off of my 06 5.3. Should fit the 6.2 so i went to go toss it on the other day when I realized it has that dang stretch belt for the AC. Anyone encounter this and what did you do?

2010 Camaro is the same way...good read here... http://www.planetlsx.com/tech/How_To..._Camaro_SS/105

I guess u gotta guide that baby on like guiding a chain back on a bike sprocket...

Let me know things work out I still need to swap mine....I bought the SLP pulley w/Dayco 5040345 & 5060895 belt's...pulley came with a new crank bolt..

The correct length belt can be a pain to install on stock or underdrive pulleys. I just work it on one rib at a time over the crank pulley. The problem with running a longer belt is that the AC tensioner does not put much tension on the belt. They tend to slip.

I ran into this problem too. I just added the ac tensioner and I was good. I ac belt does slip every now and then though...
