    Had my A/C compressor seize on my way home from a nightshift. Limped home and did some research, repairs are out of my budget for a few weeks so I found cheap solution. A re-routed 74" long serpentine belt can be used to bypass the A/C compressor. Figured i would post because I could not find any info on an A/C delete for these 2.7's. I used a Dayco poly rib part # 5060740. This is only a 6 rib belt and truck has 7 rib pulleys, have gone several hundred miles no issue. Will post anything that comes up, cheers! Pic for attention

    All you need to do to bypass the Compressor is remove the " MG CLT Relay " This will ensure the magnetic clutch doesn't energize.

    That said it sounds like you did a good job of bypassing it on your own. You get 10 Macgyver points.

    My magnetic clutch is seized as well. The pulley is an immovable object for the time being. I am thinking catastrophic bearing failure. Thanks for the reply

    Dayco Belt 5070735 is a direct replacement 7 rib belt intended to bypass the a/c unit. I installed it in my 06; works great! Original belt had 228k on it; still had life but my a/c failed... $22 fix.

    I had the same issue with my pulley seizing up and the belt slipping over it. Lots of rattling and grinding. I bought the dayco 5070735 and swapped it out. No more noise. Had to pay 49 at a local parts store, wanted it done today. 20250225_130952.jpg Wish there was a 74 inch with 7 ribs ....the 73.5 was TIGHT, had to crank the idler arm as far as it would go and turn the power steering wheel to roll it on. Anyways, thanks for the post..it quieted my ride until I can rob a bank and get a new ac condenser installed.
    I will post a picture of how to run new shorter belt. You bypass the bottom right pulley and compressor, follow the new blue line.
    Thanks again!
