Serpentine belt

[etlsport]

Take a string and wrap it around the pulleys as you want to run your new belt. Measure the string needed to complete the path. Then take that measurement asking with your factory belt to a good auto parts place. Belts are sold by length and groove configuration

Looking at this pic, it looks very possible that you could do as Eric said, & by-pass the AC pump (lower right in the pic) with a shorter belt....

Thanx for the info guy's,I did the measurement and without the ac comp. it is 80 inches exactly,i took the belt off and ran my string but im thinking it will prolly have to be an inch or 2 smaller than 80" to git the proper tension,what do u guy's think?

I searched over at the Planet and found a thread about this very subject with the belt length needed for the 3.2/3.5L and part numbers and whatnot. 80" seems to be correct.

It could be just your compressor clutch bearing that needs replacing and not the compressor. The clutch bearing turns all the time. The compressor just sits there dormant when the A/C is not on and shouldn't make any noise.

I actually had my noisy compressor clutch bearing replaced under warranty way back in '03 at an Isuzu shop. They had the part in stock and replaced it while I waited.

From planet Isuzoo discussion:
"80.25 inches...goodyear #4060802"
and
"The Autozone belt is #802K6, but it is a special order belt. Either way get a 6 rib belt close to 80" and you should be able to save yourself a tow."

I will be getting one of these this week for sure.
