Yep. I had the same thing happen to me. Just go to an autoparts store and as for a belt that bypasses the A/C. If the belt dont fit on the pulleys then they gave you the belt that goes to a Dodge without A/C, so make sure specify and all.

Yeah, the trucks that came from the factory without a/c, generally had an idler pulley there instead.
