Yeah, I just checked NAPA online, $76.99!!! What I don't understand is
that it didn't squeal before I replaced the alternator. I didn't think
the tensioner would just go out like some sort of electronic part. I'm
going to replace the belt and maybe get a slightly shorter one as well.
It did look a little "glazed". I do have "power" pulleys on it so maybe
I'll put the stock ones back on.

those darn serpentine belt tensioners do weaken over time. it might be
time for a new tensioner . it also might be the belt has stretched and
on
top of the it might be glazed and just a new belt will fix the problem?
if i recall those darn tensioners are not "cheap" at all!
chuck
just some thoughts on the situation?
