This is a Gates serpentine belt drive pulley, part number 36299. It's a direct replacement for the crankshaft pulley on a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs, including models like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Cadillac Escalade, particularly those equipped with the 5.3L V-8 engine.
