GMC Repair: Engine belts for 2003 GMC Yukon, gmc yukon, 2003 gmc yukon
QuestionHow many belts does the 2003 5.4 GMC Yukon engine have?
The service rep at the dealer said that I needed to have the AC belt & Tensioner replaced. She said that only the AC belt needed to be replaced. I thought it used only 1 serpentine belt for all -- fan, alternator & fan.
Answerthere is a primary serpentine belt which runs the alternator, power steering and water pump, and a secondary which runs only the A/C compressor. It is not uncommon to see worn secondary belt and tensioner, however it is a good idea to replace both belts, as you have to remove the primary to access the secondary belt
