[QUOTE="speedofsound, post: 9168470, member: 33243"] [B]*** UPDATE ***[/B] I just installed the ThumpRRR tensioner ...what a NICE piece. It's a little more of a pain to use a breaker bar on it because of how thick it is (everything else tends to be in the way), but I have more clearance between the tensioner and the blower bracket than with the stock tensioner. I won't be able to see if this cures my chirp problem for a week or so ...the roads here are still a mess from the snow storm this past weekend. Comparison pictures.
