Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
This video we're going to show you how to replace the serpentine belt on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL with the 5.3 liter V8 engine. The items you'll need for this is a 15mm socket and ratchet or a wrench, a T30 Torx bit or driver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Use an 8mm wrench to disconnect the negative battery cable.
Start off by loosening this hose clamp and this hose clamp, and then, removing this T30 bolt up here, and we'll just fast forward as Mike does that. Technically, you don't have to remove the air duct but it does make it a lot easier to see down in there and route the belt and things like that. Now, pull this hose free and then lift that air intake hose up and out.
Next, you want to locate your serpentine belt diagram, which is located right here on the shroud, and you just want to refer to this as you're trying to put the belt back in place and make sure that you have one of these before messing with the belt. Then, using a 15mm socket and ratchet or a 15mm wrench and another wrench for extra leverage, just push down on the tensioner and then pull the belt up and over that center pulley and carefully relieve the tension on the tensioner. Now pull your serpentine belt up and out.
As you go to put the serpentine belt back in place just refer to this belt diagram again. You want to make sure it follows this exactly. Put the belt back on, just feed a loop down to your biggest lower pulley which is the crankshaft pulley. Make sure it goes around that. Then pull it up over your top pulley which is your water pump and then feed that loop down to your power steering pump pulley and then back here to your tensioner and you're ready to reattach it. Put your wrench or socket and ratchet onto the tensioner and pull back on the tensioner, and just push your belt underneath that center pulley. Then, carefully release the tension and make sure your belt is on all the pulleys correctly.
Now, feed your air intake hose back down into place and make sure to push down all the way, and then push this end back into place and then tighten up those two hose clamps, and I'll tighten up the T30 bolt. Then, reconnect your negative battery cable.
