You remove this cover, there's a bolt right here. Use an 8-millimeter socket, take that out, and slide the cover up, slide it forward. There's a bracket right here that holds the coolant hoses on, just use a trim tool and just separate that from that. This one's broken in this vehicle. Now we wanna remove the snorkel and use an 8-millimeter socket, loosen up the worm clamp, or you can use a straight blade screwdriver. So right here. Slide this off and slide it off the throttle body and pull it out of your way. And use a 15-millimeter wrench or you can use a belt tensioner tool and just put it on the belt tensioner, loosen this up. Slide the belt off of the idler pulley. Loosen up on the tensioner and slide the belt off the alternator, off the power steering pump pulley, off the water pump, and off the crank pulley.
All right, take the serpentine belt and slide it over the crank pulley first and go over the water pump. The backside of the belt needs to go over the water pump. And go down to the power steering pump and up over the alternator. And then over the tensioner right here and you hold off on putting it over the idler pulley till last. And now take your belt tensioner tool or a wrench and just take the tension off the tensioner. All right, now I'm gonna slide the belt close to the idler pulley and take the tension off the tensioner with your wrench or your belt tension tool. Just be careful. And take the wrench off and just double-check all the pulleys and it looks good. Now take the intake snorkel and line this up over the throttle body and that's good there. And then line it up on the mass airflow sensor, just like that. And tighten this up, tighten up that worm clamp and then same with this one. And take this bracket and then reposition that into that bracket. This one is broken. And slide this cover back on. Get this bolt started and tighten that up.

Hi, I'm Mike 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.
In this video I'm going to show you how to replace a serpentine belt. This 2005 Chevy Silverado has the 4.3 Liter V6 so this procedure is the same for any Silverado or Sierra that has the 4.3 Liter V6 from 1999 through 2007.
The serpentine belt is pretty easy. First, make sure you find your belt diagram. This is the 4.3 Liter V6 so there's the diagram and it matches up with what's in the engine compartment. Removing the belt is pretty easy. Put a 3/8 inch drive ratchet right in here. Pull on that. See that loosens the belt. Move it from the idler pulley up top. Release that slowly. Then you pull your belt right off.
To put the belt on, you want to follow the pattern. You can't really see this but I'm going to go down around the crank pulley first, then I bring this up and around the water pump here. Then it goes from the water pump down to the power steering pulley here, up to the A/C pulley, across the tensioner and the alternator. I'm just going to reach down and make sure everything is pretty much on the way it should be. Now, you can press down when you see the belt starts to tighten up as you try and press it on to the idler here. Then we take our wrench, put it in, press down. That gives us the slack to put the belt right in here. Then just check. Make sure it's on all the pulleys correctly. It's in the grooves. It's actually not quite on there correctly, so pull it off here. Okay, the new belt is on.

If you were to look right down here, you're gonna see a clamp. If you were to look at the other end where it connects on to the throttle body, you're gonna see another clamp. You can go ahead and loosen those up. Also, if you come right up here you're gonna see an 8-millimeter bolt, if you loosen that up you can take this right out. Once you have that out of the way and the clamps are loosened, you can wiggle this around. I'm gonna draw it off of the throttle body right here, and I'm gonna take them right there. Take it off of right here, remove it from the vehicle. So now that we have the intake and the little shell out of the way here, it gives us a nice, clear view. You don't necessarily need to take off the shell but I just like to have it out of the way.
Go ahead and relieve your tension like that. And then, I'm just gonna take the belt off of the idler pulley here and then I can let go of that. We'll get our serpentine belt right out of the way. Let's go ahead and remove the belt. Let's remove the five bolts that hold up your skid plate. Now that that's out of the way, we have a clear view of the AC belt tensioner right there. Go ahead and use a 3/8 ratchet with a short extension. Put it right in the slot. When you pull this down, it's gonna relieve tension, and then, we'll just get the belt right off of there. There we are. Take that off of there. I'm gonna take it, I'm gonna go over that AC compressor. And then, I'm gonna start over the top of the crank. Now that we have that up and over the crank, and then, it's heading its way over to the AC pulley, I'm gonna go ahead and pull this down, give myself a little bit of slack. Put the belt up over the tensioner, and then, just start working it over the AC clutch itself. When you do this, you want to try to be as straight as possible because if you come in at an angle, it's not gonna fit very well. Okay, I relieve tension. Now, you just want to check that belt, feel all the way around, make sure it's on the crank perfectly. Now, we're gonna go and put our shield back up on here.
Go ahead and take one side, go down and around the passenger side of the water pump which is this right here, and then, put it over the crank which is the main pulley over there. I'm just gonna circle it. Put it up and then slide it around. I'm gonna take one, and I'm gonna come up and over the tensioner right here. And then, the other side I'm gonna bring it down and around the water pump, and then, underneath the power steering pump. It's gonna fit right inside the ribs perfectly. And then I'm gonna come up, make sure it's sitting in those ribs. There it is. Come up over the alternator right here. This looks good. Make sure everything is situated approximately where it needs to be. That looks great. I'm gonna grab my tensioner tool. Put it on there. Relieve tension. Now, I'll take this, bring it right underneath the idler pulley. This is your idler pulley. Get our tool off. Give it a nice tug. And then, of course, double check all of your pulleys. Every one of them that has the rib side that goes up against the belt, you need to make sure it is sitting perfectly inside the ribs. If you're wondering what your belt routing should look like, you can find it right on the front. We'll get our intake back on here. It's gonna go right underneath this hose here, line it up there. Grab this, slide it in. Push it all the way in, so it's up against the whole throttle body. Make sure your clamps are nice and tight. Your hose over here should have a little clippy-do. Ours is actually broken, but it's going to push in right there and that will hold it secure. Put this cover back on here, just slide it all the way back so it's sitting inside the pitons. Put this down and tighten up your bolt.
