Whats the size of my engine belt? I have a 2001 5.3.

all you have to do is call autozone or oriellys they will hook you up.

oh why do you need it 1" or 2" bigger, you wont have enough tention if you go that big and running stock acc.

I have a 225A alt in a chevy SSR casing and its huge, so my belt fits, but its very tight with the tensioner almost maxed out

hrmm well, just call them and ask then tell them you need one 1" longer, make sure you take your truck there so you can try alot off diff. belts, your tensioner has a mark on it for proper tention.
