I have an associate that has worked for GM truck div. forever, and she says they came out with serp belts mid 88, as an 89 "feature".

The Gates (www.gates.com) site shows all the belt part numbers and sizes for whatever year and vehicle you punch in. They have '87 as the last year for anything other than a full serpentine belt on a 454. Now all I have to do is find a supercharger for an '87.

hey guys if you are sick of squealing serpentine belts try good year.

they make a belt with cross hatched ribs. think they call it the gator back.

after trying 2 new gates on my silverado's ac drive with no success, switched to goodyear with no more squealing.

the problem was mostly when the weather was damp, rain fog, or after a car wash.
