How to bypass Ac 03-08 dodge 5.7l. No bypass pulley

How to delete the Ac compressor on a 3rd gen 5.7 with only a belt (part no. 5060630)
Edit: The belt routing seems to work well ( 2+ years later the truck is still running that belt) but there are more part numbers in the comments that are said to work better. The 62 1/2" 7 rib looks close to ideal, 63" seems to be a little big on some vehicles. But anywhere in that area with a 7 rib preferably will get you back on the road.
Not that anyone has asked but in case anyone was wondering I run a small auto shop in southern ontario and I run into problems like this from time to time. This could be a one hit wonder as far as youtube videos goes, but if I come across unique solutions I'll post the videos.

Looked all over the Internet couldn’t find any real info on bypass AC this video helped out a lot will be fine for the time being

My wife and I want to thank you for this video, as my son was stranded in Virginia 11 hours away from Florida and we did all as you said and explained in this tutorial and my son got back on the road, and yes this work he used the Duralast part and is heading home today, thank you.

[@connordwyer1209]

No problem, glad it worked out for him

Worked for my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Thank you for posting this helpful video with part# ( Duralast 630K6) and diagram. $20 and 5 minutes under the hood, back on the road. This setup has same tension as original belt and configuration...

[@canadianpowerslave9741]

I just did this on my '06 Durango. The only thing I did different was I went over the idler pulley between the alternator and the fan. I measured both ways and it was almost the exact same. I went that way as it looked like the belt would rub on some of the tensioner components. Thanks for the awsome video!!!

[@manuelcollazo]

Just did it to my 2005 durango. Bought the belt with that number. Runs well. Now i have time to replace the bearing on my ac. Thanks for the vid.

[@memesupreme4338]

Bro. I got this belt for 15.10. the bypass pulley wasn't even within 300 miles and it would have had to have been ordered. I can't tell you how much headache you've saved me by posting this video. I could kiss you right now; no homo! A million thank yous! God bless you, Man

[@rjsspeedshop6683]

Got this belt at advance auto today worked like a charm!!

[@charleskoger2820]

This video helped a lot I thought I was going to go without my truck. Thankyou!

[@melikehockey548]

Yes!! Couldn't get the exact brand of belt but found a 63 inch 6 rib belt. Took 1 minute to change and I'm back on the road. Thanks alot for making the video.

[@connordwyer1209]

jason porter no problem, I couldn't find anyone whos done it before so I had to try a few different setups and that's what worked

[@CHOPSBOWLS1]

Thanks for the tip buddy, just saved my brother a ton of money thanks to your help

[@jamiehink2227]

Thanks man, of all the videos I EVER watched this one saved me time and money. Thank you so much!!!

[@DaBuzzard1965]

You rock! Saved a ton of hassle for me and my brother in law. Duralast 630k6 for Autozone for $17 did the trick.

[@treybarfield4102]

My friend you did a good thing here. It worked great. Was concerned with the second idler pulley not being touched but it is running great.

[@brudog23]

Worked great! Save me a lot of money! Thanks for posting this video.

[@bryanjofficial]

It seems like this belt is no longer available, what kind of belt did you get? Do you know the part number by any chance?

[@melikehockey548]

Update. The 63 inch belt was squeezing like crazy until it warmed up so I ordered a 62 inch 7 rib belt and it's way better

[@melikehockey548]

Charles Hagens yes still going strong. It's minus 25c here now and still working great

[@brittanystone1652]

Hey guys, I am reading the comments seeing that the 62 in belt is working better. I am a poor college student with 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7L looking for the cheapest and best way around the compressor. Couple of questions-- Was it 62 in exactly? or 62.25, 62.5, 62.75? Do you remember the brand or part number? Where did you get it? After 2 weeks how is it holding up, any screeching or squealing?

[@DB-bk9tr]

How did you get the 62 in to fit I had my tensioner maxed out and still couldn’t get it over the tensioner pulley

[@sillybeagleVods]

I picked up a belt from Napa auto parts in southern Ontario. NAPA power series micro-v 25, belt#070628 7rib. I believe that’s 62 1/2 inch inside diameter. The belt was a little tight getting it over alternator pulley. Once I got it on and pushed down on the adjuster it was a perfect fit.

[@davidchambliss5909]

Another confirmation - worked on 2005 Durango, 5.7 L Hemi after compressor pulley seized and burnt the belt and the tensioner pulley. 17.00 for the belt, 25.00 for the pulley - truck is back on the road with no ill effects.

[@bertobirch3183]

62 5/8” belt works perfect great video

[@connordwyer1209]

No problem, glad it got you going

[@dand2743]

FYI for a R/T Magnum or Charger etc 5.7 Hemi (A/C Compressor near bottom of engine, unlike a 1500 Ram AC near top) you will need a 78" (1980mm) 6 Rib belt. Part # 5060780 or 6PK1980

[@dand2743]

Other part #'s K060780 780K6

[@bigzen69]

Bought the belt for $10.50 on eBay fit right on my 5.7 Dodge Hemi mmv

[@MissAbbyProductions]

After reading the comments I decided to go with 62.6 in. 6 rib belt. I installed it per the diagram you made. It was just a little too long on my 2008 Ram 1500 Sport 5.7L Hemi. There wasn't enough tension to turn the belt. After some research, I decided to find a 7 rib belt at 61.02 in. (Dayco item# 5070610). Day 2 and it is working great. A little on the tight side but wanted it tight because of the reduced contact with the water pump pulley. Everything is working great so far. I think I could also have went with 61.25 in 6 rib belt as well (Dayco item#5060613). Either should work but 7 rib belt is a better option I think. Thanks for the info!

[@gegeisonfire7345]

It worked for me, thank you ! from Québec

[@danielwatson6381]

I used this method and it ran very well thank you so much for the tip I appreciate it man

[@dakotaclark721]

Looks great and per many comments it has worked for many people but I have one main concern. Has anyone experienced any slippage in the water pump? There doesn't seem to be much coverage and am a little concerned as I do alot of long road trips.

[@connordwyer1209]

The vehicle in the video is still running the 6 rib belt and he hasn't complained about overheating. Not sure how far he drives it to work though

[@melikehockey548]

Brittany Stone mine is exactly 62. Had to order it in but it's 62" and 7 ribs and I've had no problems. It's been months now and zero problems no squeaking or anything

[@brittanystone1652]

Do you remember where you ordered it from? Would love it if you could send a link to help or refer me to a website. Seemed like every auto part store in town (Auto zone, Napa, Advance auto parts, and O'rilley) could not even order it for me today. Also, thank you so much for your reply.

[@brittanystone1652]

Jason and Charles, Thank you. Please still get me the part number if you can. I have found a Dayco 5070615. That is 61.5 in inside and 62 in outside. Would this be impossible to get on? Are y'all talking inside or outside measurement? The next closest thing I can find 7 ribs is 62.6in inside. I would still like the 7 rib but either one of yalls part number will be a big help.

[@bryanjofficial]

It seems like this belt has been discontinued or only available in certain states cause in Arizona I was not able to get this at AutoZone. Amazon does not have it. Pep boys does not keep any stock for retail anymore. I called O' Reilly and they mentioned they have one with the same dimensions but its a different brand.

Hello Bryan I want to know how the belt work in your truck I have a 04 ram 1500 5.7

[@bryanjofficial]

@@yetusin hey! :) it worked great!! No issues at all and I ran it for multiple months with no issues at all. The belt was not damaged and everything worked great until I could change out the ac pump in my Durango which was just recently :) Just make sure things are spinning the same direction as when the original belt is on and you should be in good shape.

[@yetusin]

Ok I will thank u very much

[@josh-e3j]

I have a 5.9L, Gosh I have been all over the internet trying to find the right size belt to bypass the ac compressor. Everyone online says to use the 90.5 inch belt but it’s way too long. I’m not sure how it’s even possible for them to Make that work. I’m wondering if this size belt would be better

[@connordwyer1209]

It shows that the 5.9 takes a totally different belt. It's a heavier duty belt being a diesel so I doubt it would work

[@josh-e3j]

Connor Dwyer oh no it’s the 5.9L the gas engine

Same engine should work fine, though im seeing some people saying a 62 - 62 5/8 is working a little better. The guy i did this for is still driving on that belt with no complaints, just talked to him last week
