Year of vehicle: 1995 Make of vehicle: GMC Model of vehicle: Jimmy Engine size: 4.3L V6 Mileage/Kilometers: ~270'000 -The problem is whenever i turn on the heat in the car, I hear squeeling from the serpentine (accessory) belt. I am assuming something is seizing. Thing is it goes fine without the heat on. I left the heat on and it shredded a belt and melted rubber all over the pulley thing all the way on the left of the engine. (Don't know what it's called) I replaced the belt already and it runs fine. . .until i turn the ac on then it tears belts apart. I dont think whatever pulley that controls the heating is turning at all when i engage the heat and causing the belt to slide over it rather than turning it. -So what would be causing this thing to seize up? It's winter here and were about to get a cold snap. =) Thanks steve01832 Veteran Jan 20, 2010, 2:36 AM Post #2 of 3 (2612 views) Re: Heating / Serpentine Belt Sign In Most likely needs an A/C compressor clutch.
