95 4x4 Tahoe sreeching from engine compartment.

Did you get a pic of the routing of the belts yet?? It's not as simple as you would think. It's possible to miss that pulley under the AC .... that might cause an issue or two.

I didn't ask for the routing pic. I know its routed correctly I followed the diagram. I wanted pic of the tensionr position

Here's mine. It may or may not help you though. I have UD pulleys and a non-stock belt, but it should help give you a rough idea about where the tensioner should be.

Thanks but thats a vortec diagram mine is a tbi 95 tahoe.

Dope. Your right, sorry.

EDIT: I was searching google for a pic of the belt routing for you, and I found a pic of fellow members BigBlueBus rig. He was the #6 search result. Now thats funny right there!

DOH! Sorry I misunderstood. You want a pic of the tensioner position with a stock belt?? There are three lil triangle marks on mine, if I understand right the adjustable triangle has to fall within the limits of the other two. When you look at it form the top and see the marks I think you'll get what I mean. I'll be under my hood later and can snap a pic f you still need ...

UPDATE: Retorq recently upgraded his water pump. His is also a 95 TBI. You can see how his tensioner is.

Just had a new alternator installed on an F150, genuine Ford piece, etc. From never hearing 1 peep in the past 6 years, it would have a screech from hell as if a possum was under the hood and getting ground up at least once every time it was driven, even short trips of less than 15 miles.

Original belt, tensioners, pulley, everything....6 years old/83,*** miles. It was the new alternator actually. They had to replace it due to the voltage regular being out of wack and now, no noise.

mine has been making a screming noise lately too. its rather anooying. im pretty sure its the ac and i might take it off and bypass it and get new bearings for it. does anyone know where to get the bypass pulley for a 95? i can find em for 96 and up but not mine
