Could you please tell me how to put my A/C belt on? Also, the left front sits a little lower than it should. I get up to 55 MPH and it will vibrate. I've had frontend alignment and new tires, and it hasn't stopped the vibration. Thanks guys.

We only handle one issue per thread, please start a new one for the front-end issue. If the truck has a tensioner, here is how to replace the AC belt. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
