part numbers????

Does anyone have the part numbers to do a 2004 belt/pulley/tensioner on a P32 8.1? I just got my first "A" and it needs some work to get it up to speed.
I also need to do something with the steering, its a bit sloppy. Thanks.

just about any parts store will have that. Check O'Reilly Auto.com Put in your 2004 Workhorse P32 Base 8.1 and the Gates 38103 tensioner pulls up. Also lists the other pulley's you have and the belts.

So I have 1 new belt
1 tensioner
1 idler pulley
all from rockauto.
So I pull off the parts that I think are making the noise, I started the rig up to see if the noise went away------ it did.
I go back to the workbench and guess what, 2 of the parts are not correct. Well after looking at the pics of the parts that I have, it seems that they are for a different setup. I went back just to see what the parts for a rig without AC are and the pics show the same part that I took off. The belt for a rig with ac was to long and the tensioner was completely different. I put the parts for a rig without AC on order to see what happens this time. I hope it fixes the problem. More to come.

So now its all back together. So to recap all of this.
I have a
2004 P32, 8.1, with AC

The parts that did work are as follows
1. Idler for a P32 with AC
2. Tensioner for a P32 without AC
3. Belt for a P32 doesn't work at all if you order it for AC or not. Its Gates K061031 that is 103 5/8" long.

This all started when I picked up the camper and it had a squeak coming from the front. I knew it was probably something to do with the belt. I can only guess it was the tensioner???
