Light Squeal

What would that do for me goodinblack?

I would assume the belts are the correct length since the dealership I bought it at put them on. Sad thing about it is the dealership is also the ones that replaced the alternator and said it was that causing the squeal. Its also a bit odd that sometimes even hot it doesnt seem to do it.

You know what assuming does?
The dealer is the last place I would trust. Look at what happened after they replaced your alternator.

I would at least double check on that belt. I had the same symptoms, it was not consistent but very annoying.

Running it without the belt would narrow it down to it being in the accessory drive, I guess.

If I could get it to do it every single time now removing the belts would be a good diagnostic tool. Sadly now its not doing it every time it hits the RPM range lol. What a pain in the rear.

Took it to Firestone and had the lower tensioner replaced. Sad thing is it still squeals and they said for sure that is what was causing it. Might actually be worse now. Lol.

Fixed! The drive belt had to be replaced because it glazed over. From what I was told probably due to the new tensioner putting too much tension lol.

I just recently changed my belts and i was lazy and decided to change them without taking off the fanclutch and top of the fan shroud holy crap that turned out to be a pain in the ass
