I swapped my stock alt with a dr44g alt from a 02 tahoe 2 months ago and i bought a 960k6 belt and as of last week the belt is to long and squeals when you start the truck. Has any one else had this problem? I also bought a new tensioner a month later after putting the alt on but i dont think that would cause the belt to be to long.

Was i supposed to swap the pullies with the stock alt?

I tried a 955k6 belt and it was to small and they dont have a belt between 955 and 960

 

you are not supposed to swap pullies... find a belt that is about an inch longer.
for the belt on my first gen, they did not have a belt that was exactly an inch, so I got one that was 7/8th inch longer, and it fits perfect.

 

fixed the problem had to go to napa and buy one because the one from autozone was 96.58 and the one from napa is 96.08

 

What fixed the problem? and 96 for a belt? holy smokes.

 

what belts are you buying. I swapped belts when I upgraded my alt, and my belt was $30

 

I think he was referring to the length of the belt lol!!

 

I had the same problem with my ad244... The 96" belt stretched and started slipping. I swapped on a 95.5 belt. It was a PITA to get it on, but since has stretched a little and is perfect.

 

man, i was going to say......... better be made of carbon fiber.

 

I tried a 95.5 belt but couldnt get it to work so i went with the 96
