Default New Serpentine Belt

My 1999 chevy blazer has quite the chirp during cold running and will eventually quiet down after a while. I've been reading up on the goodyear gatorback belts but I've seen a few different ones and am unsure of the # I need. I believe it's the 4060950 but was hoping someone could confirm before I order.

1999 Chevy Blazer 4.3 with AC.

Thanks!

I recently replaced the altenator, new belt, and put in a new water pump a pb out a month ago. The chirping has been driving me nuts when I decide to take the blazer.

I put a 145 amp on mine with a new dayco (1 inch) bigger. Was fine for a while then started chirping, tried everything to get rid of it. Bought a gatorback and its been 2 months with nothing

Thanks for reminding me that I need to get a new gatorback! I put in a genero parts store belt when I did my alt swap and it's annoying and I think a bit to long. Newguy do you have the # of the longer gatorback you put on with your alt swap by chance?

Awesome! Just ordered one for mine. I'm hoping it puts a zipper on the chipmunks under the hood!

It will for sure I had the same issue before my alt swap and the gatorback fixed it immediately! I still carry it in my truck for "just in case". It's a bit short with my larger alt but it will fit and get me home in a pinch at least.

I will keep the current belt on hand. I cannot remember if it was chirping as bad before my transmission coolant line let go under the hood soaking quite a few components with fluid.

I tucked mine away in the jack storage area. I figure a chiro is better than not going anymore for a bit lol!
