8.1 Liter Serpentine Belt
I have a 2007 Allegro Open Roads 35TSA with a 8.1 Liter Chevy Motor. Could someome help me find out how the serpentine belt goes on my motor. I can not find this anywhere on my rig. It has a W22 chass...

You May want to check the cam position sensor on the front of the block the belt may take out the wires going to it mine did. I was able to splice them together again. If check engine light is on check for that. If you can get a helper it is easier to install with two people. Napa has the belt.
One trick I use when I changed mine is that I use a ratchet strap to hold the breaker bar to relieve tension on the belt so that I can use both hands to position the belt. While under the coach on I-80 in Iowa, with traffic whizzing by, I found I could change the belt in about 10 minutes. :B
Not sure what you have there, but I can do it all from the top by myself and remain inside in comfort.
The first one I changed out, started going bad, so I replaced it with NAPA's best and so far, so good. I also have the OEM original on board at 8yrs old and 46K miles on it.
Simple...I have an 8.1L like the OP, not a 7.4L engine like you have. They are not the same.
