Maybe I'll try to install the electric fans if I get motivated enough--and the weather cooperates.

The correct tensioner finally came today. Got motivated enough to put my pants on and swapped it out on the Hoe. Took it for a ride and it's gtg! So that's what the issue was, damn tensioner.
New
Old
There definitely was A LOT of excessive play in it. New one is tight as a drum.

The one I ordered was Gates, but the box had an AcDelco sticker on it--Made in Canada.

nah ac is 4 rib, i think its a tensioner for ctsv or corvette ls2 years. in my post i say the tensioner doesnt work cause its offset wrong, but the pulley itself can swap over on the other tensioner

I’ve been looking at those billet fixed tensioners instead of the spring oem style. I wonder if they got one for the ac tensioner too?

I’ve only slung the belt off my Silverado once
