Need to know the engine. In 1997, most Freightliner models were available with a Detroit Diesel (e.g., 11.1, 12.7, or 14.0 60 Series), Caterpillar (3116, 3126, 3406, etc.), or Cummins (6BT, L10, M11, N14, etc.) engine, and many models from the aforementioned manufacturers were available, as Freightliner makes a wide range of trucks - Class 5 through Class 8. You could talking about anything from an FL50 with a 6BT Cummins to an FLD132 Classic XL with a 3406E Caterpillar. Suffice to say, the routing won't be the same for each truck model/engine configuration.
Belt routing is on a decal in the engine compartment. Some are also in the owner's manual.

take and measure the routing of belt minus ac and put new belt on
If the old belt is still installed, make a quick sketch of the pulleys and the belt routing. Some vehicles have a routing diagram sticker under the hood. Some belt sleeves (such as the GoodYear Gatorback) come with diagrams of the engines that particular belt fits. They aren't always perfect, but will get you close enough that you can figure it out. -J-Ri

To replace the serpentine belt on a 1997 Suzuki Sport, first, locate the belt tensioner and use a wrench to relieve tension on the belt. Carefully remove the old belt by noting the routing path, then install the new belt following the same routing. Make sure the belt is seated correctly on all pulleys, and finally, release the tensioner to apply tension to the new belt. Double-check the alignment and ensure everything is secure before starting the engine.

Finally, position the new belt according to the routing diagram, check the tension, and reconnect the battery.
