I am having the same issue with my G8 GT and it threw a belt for the second time a few days ago. It is mid June of 2023 so the temp is only in the 80's but will get much hotter soon. I am in Saint Charles MO. You stated that you are in Missouri also? Maybe we are close. Thanks for the details and take care.
How can I fix this? I ask because the AC belt has 3 ribs and the part you recommend has 6 ribs.
So how do you get it to stay in track?
Thanks for the tip and excellently made video!
Awesome Darius ! Thanks for credit brother I'm glad this corrected your issues. Is it blowing cold air now? Love the way you explained it and pieced it together in your video great job.
Yes and thanks David. You are genius ..finally the cold air is blowing
Awesome which I k we this years ago I went with the Chevy SS upgrad/ls3 which had a additional idler pulley. Kit was from Australia. Which I saved the money and saw this years ago!
How much have you driven it since this video? And how is the belt condition now after driving it with that pulley (#231015)? I ask because I was planning on getting the Upgrade Kit.
Did the belt melt the three grooves in the middle of the pulley down? Plus when the bolt is tight this pulley don't spin at all.The part # 231015.I have a 2009 pontiac g8 gt also.Is there something im doing wrong here?
Thanks mate. such a simple solution.
Going to be trying this tomorrow! Hope it works
Excellent information!
For some reason that part number comes up as a 6 rib grooved pulley. Shouldn't the A/C tensioner pulley be smooth?
Dumb question but which way does the bolt loosen right or left from the pulley to replace with the grooved one
Definitely not a dumb question brother but left loosens it
Good luck with it
I just cammed my g8 and it’s been driving me crazy! Lmao 🤣 thank god for this video! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah its too hot not to have ac lol
231015 didn't work for me. It was rubbing against the idler. Went to a 231051 instead worked like a charm.
Nice brother glad it worked out
The diameter of 231051 is bigger than the standard one, will it work with the standard belt size?
@@4411825 yes tight fit. Will need a smaller bolt head
@@adhd_g8gt566 Thanks for the reply!
@@adhd_g8gt566 What bolt did you go with? I’m having doubts about the sweet spot on the stock bolt.
Very nice! Easy fixxx
Is that gold pulley the one you used?
I have no issues with the AC belt slip. Is it because an aftermarket dampener is being used? If not, what's the reason for the slip
He showed the stock pulley and even explained why it slips. In case you missed it I'll explain it for you. The stock pulley has no lip edges to it so the belt over time will end up slipping off the pulley especially if it becomes rusty. So the new pulley he used has a lip edge on both edges of the pulley so it keeps the belt contained and will not allow it to slip or walk off of the pulley. A very simple fix that if I hadn't seen this video and ran into the issue then I would have done the same thing. Sometimes simpler is better.
Is there a different belt routing with this pulley installed?
No its actually the same oem belt....and even now its still running strong
@@2.0carflock I did this today and it works but the pulley you replace it with won't free spin so I had to sand it down with a orbital sander and even then it still scrapped the pulley
@@R3CKLESSRHINO for right now im experimenting with different bolts but the way I got around that is by tighting the bolt up just enough so that the pulley stays in place and spins freely
And the belt will keep the pulley in place
@@2.0carflock Gotcha I just didn't know if it happened to you Since I've installed it and Used an orbital sander to Sand it down it stopped making noise after tightening it all the way down and it moves freely now
Will the existing bolt work with the new pulley ?
Yes the existing one works perfectly
Did you use a washer ?
I wish I saw this video before buying the heavy duty bracket 🤦🏽♂️
Its all good...at least u got it fixed
@@2.0carflock it’s still in the box waiting to be put on lol. My GXP went through 2 or 3 tensioners and multiple belts lol. The clutch/pulley for the a/c compressor has missing sections, need to replace it too 🤦🏽♂️
My pulley melted
replace another small belt that's it
Doesn’t last. I tired it.
This did not work.pulley hits on back side and will not spin.
Yeah im gonna make a new video on how to get past that...its a certain part on the pulley to sand down
@@2.0carflock did you ever do the update showing what we need to do to make the pulley work?
i am still waiting for answer as i got the same pulley and it hits on back
@@binjoker2680 , I just ordered a pulley. I’m gonna modify it and I’ll reply with my findings. My local parts store had the correct pulley ($35), so I just cross referenced the number on rock auto and got it for $10 shipped. Once it arrives I’ll be able to update.
@@BrothersBuilds i am looking forward!
