until it's replaced.......just to be safe of course.

That look like the AC belt. I had to replace mine at about 50K something. It was starting to crack.

Odds are the intake charge pipe is installed wrong. Check it, then replace belt.

That's the A/C belt. It may just be time for a change but check the path before you put on a new one.

You are rubbing on something in there... Use your hand (engine off) and follow the belt around, it might be rubbing on a clamp in there somewhere.

Pull the intake charge pipe off. This is the one that rund near the frame rail. Turn it around and bolt it back up. Problem solved.

Yeah looks like the pipe is definately rubbing the belt. You guys are lucky if your belts are lasting past 40K. We replace belts here at work around 30k

Just get the oem belt for the a/c. Doesn't really need a good one since it's not under much stress.
