You got the right compressor? No reason it should not be a perfect fit. Got a pick you can post?

Where did you get the compressor from? Is it a GM unit?

looks like it may be the belt itself. looks like one of the grooves on it came off. so when i flipped it around it isnt coming off. looks like im off to the parts store damn i feel like a dumbass. belt looked good other than that  |

It could be a problem like I had... My AC compressor pulley was about a half inch behind the harmonic balancer pulley.... My belts kept striping off on the inside...
Look the same?
I ended up replacing the harmonic balancer, and I haven't had any problems since. |

If it tears the belt again, you'll probably want a new balancer. I went through 3 belts already this year.  |

Are you sure it's not the A/C compressor? Considering the source it would still be my #1 pick as the problem.
