    Use a ratchet and socket to crank back tensioner pulley and Pin back the tensioner pulley with a short screwdriver or whatever and take the belt off….there should be a sticker under the hood that shows the routing…remove pin from tensioner and done.

    The first time it probably took me 45 minutes. Mostly staring at it. The second time, which was shortly after because I didn’t route it correctly, took about 5-10 minutes.

    PSA - save your old belt if it's useable and keep it in the truck. Just in case you're on the road and something happens...
