yes im here looking for DIY fix

epic thread Rally. Thanks Would appreciate your thoughts on a moon roof installation. Feasible? Ridiculous?

Thanks. I've modified the Lisle tool to fit over the lip of the crank shaft pulley. Will give it a go. If it doesn't work I will have to take it into the shop and have them do it. Not a lot of options for me - live alone in remote mountain area at 10k ft, foot of snow on the ground, no garage, below freezing outside - there's only so much of that I can handle when I'm lying on the frozen ground with 20 mph cross winds. it gets old real quick like. Absolutely ridiculous. Had an old Tahoe I drove to 300k miles - so easy to work on....same 5.3L V8.

Thankyou for your reply. Good advice. I tried this about 10 times. There is so much pressure that it snaps the zip ties.

I tried the Lisle tool. Does not fit on 2019 Trailboss crank shaft pulley. Called some dealerships - they wont sell me the blue Stretchy Belt Installer pictured above due to patent. Not having a tensioner in there is borderline retarded. Good luck. I'm stuck in my own driveway like a genius.
