I lost the air conditioner belt this morning on the way home from work.
Would someone have the part numbers for this belt?

If you're thinking of updating the distributor, consider the one Dick
Patterson, http://www.paterson-gmc.com/~gmc/motorhome.html has
available. He modifies it for the GMC.

Yes. I have a loading dock that I can park the coach at and have an
electric outlet to plug it into. I only drive about 15 miles each way. I
can keep things in working order better by driving it 5 days a week. Then
when we go on those 2 to 3 thousand mile trips when I get a week off, things
seem to work better. When winter comes I will park it in the back yard and
try to drive it some on the weekends to keep things limbered up.
