[QUOTE="stutaeng, post: 28426, member: 6175"] Should be within 1/4" or 1/2" of the original. I remember once my mechanic replaced the AC compressor on my old 4.3 and he couldn't get the belt back on. We figured the remanufactured compressor had a different pulley, since that was the only thing that had been replaced. He went back and got a longer belt from Napa and all went well. The LS has a separate belt for the AC compressor, so that doesn't apply, just an example of how things can throw things off. You either got a different size pulley or wrong belt. Put the old tensioner to figure it out... [/QUOTE]
