Welcome. This is Suburban Drive Belt headquarters. If you can't find the component you need here, it probably doesn't exist anywhere.
The drive belt on you Suburban does a lot of work. For example, it supplies the power for the compressor for the air conditioner, it runs the alternator, and it powers the power steering pump. Some engines employ only one belt for these jobs, others employ two.
Many car and truck manuals suggest inspecting your drive belt (or belts) every 12 months or 15,000 miles. When you or your mechanic inspect a belt for problems, look for the following: fraying; streaks on the sidewall of the belt; "glazing," (a shiny area anywhere on the belt); cracks; separation (of the drive belt "piles"); oil soaking; and breaks or tears. Signs of oil soaking means that there is an oil leak from somewhere, maybe from the transmission, engine, or power steering fluid reservoir. Track down and stop any leak immediately. Streaks on the belt's sidewall or glazing on the top of the belt most likely means that the belt is not adjusted properly. Signs of any of these problems mean you should replace the belt on your Suburban as soon as you can.
To prevent "down" time, it is always wise to have a spare belt for your Suburban. Buy serpentine or V-belts, ribbed or unribbed, here.
If yours is the Suburban 5.3L Vortec, 6.0L Vortec, the 8.1L Vortec or even the 6.5L turbodiesel, you can find your belt here. Click on your model year to begin searching for the exact belt you need. Then kick back and relax. The store will soon be picking and shipping your belt.
