Squeaky pulleys on cold mornings

[chuckdlightning]

I'm pretty sure that it's my idler pulleys that are making all the noise, but I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem. It's annoying as hell!! They squeak like crazy when the weather is a little chilly, then once the truck gets to like 110* it stops. Any way to fix this??

Try spraying down the pulley area with some water. I was getting some squeaking also and then I washed that area and it went away. I think that some sand will accumulate on the pulleys/belt and cause a squeak.

So the bearings ARE serviceable? I figured they would be sealed.

If they're stock pulleys then they are definitely serviceable.

Almost all the pulleys for our trucks are servicable.

My old GT did the same thing. Tons of noise until the motor got warm then I had nothing.
