[QUOTE="Nadra, post: 16012231, member: 96452"] Yeah...interesting thread because I actually just finished trouble shooting this EXACT thing on my car. I ran the gamut on replacing things thinking it was a belt, a pulley bearing, bad tensioner, rebuilt alternator thinking it was bad bearings there, switched back to the exact tensioner combo c6zhombre says above...literally everything. Nothing I did worked. Same exact symptoms as what you are having: intermittent belt squeal. There sometimes and not others. I finally figured mine out after 9 months of trouble shooting: I had an alignment issue. Not saying that is you problem, but it was mine. Process of elimination, it was the only thing left and that is exactly what it was. Turns out, when we had the engine out of my car 3 years ago, we incorrectly installed that billet aluminum plate from Metco that relocates the idler pulley needed to run their lower crank pulley. Once we discovered that and put everything back together right....problem gone. For good. If I were you, I would go over everything on that serpentine drive with a very fine tooth comb and look for an alignment issue. [/QUOTE]
