An added bonus, the whining noise while the A/C was running is gone. The old belt must have been slipping.
Both belts said they were 83.5 inches but the Goodyear belt was about an 1" to an 1.5" shorter than the Duralast belt. The Duralast belt was about a 1/2" shorter than the factory belt, but that is probably due to the old belt stretching.
Just wanted to save everyone the headache and frustration I went through today for what whould be a straight forward and easy job.

How would rate this in terms of difficulty as a DIY project? Seems to be quite expensive at the dealer.
