Belt question

[dblanchfield]

My 2004 Tahoe went in for a major service today and on the bill I was charged for an 'A/C Belt' which is fine.

I should have asked the mechanic before leaving but he was busy working on another car when I collected mine. Is the AC belt another name for the serpentine belt or is it a different belt entirely?

I tried a google image search and got the same images for both the serpentine and the ac belt.

Could someone please advise?

Thanks

Same belt
Serpentine just sounds more confusing lol but its the right word for it

The a/c belt is just what you think. The 5.3 has a serpentine belt and a 2nd belt that just runs the a/c. I noticed this when I recently bought mine and also thought it was weird since I am used to there just being 1 belt.

I have a 4.8 and as far as I can tell, only one belt. I went outside and looked at the serpentine belt and it looks new so I guess that is the one they replaced.

Sorry, I was assuming you had the 5.3 like me which does have 2 belts. Can't speak for the 4.8.

Pretty sure you have just one belt on that motor. If you see a pulley with nothing around it, however...
