Np. I actually don't see my neighbors much. Maybe I can grab one of them this weekend.

Have you swapped any components lately, like crank pulley, alternator, PS pump, A/C comp???

Almost seems like something isn't lined up exactly right... One time I had a PS pump pulley that wasn't lined up 100%... it didn't throw belts but it caused the belt to squeal... it was only off by maybe an 1/8" or so... hardly noticable but enough to squeal and annoy the crap out of me until I figured it out.

No, nothing. I swapped that idler pulley, I thought that was the cause of my problems. Obviously not. Only thing I found was that rubber from the old belt in the grooves of the ps pulley. Wasn't really gummed up or anything tho. Wish I had taken a pic.

EDIT: If you look really close at the ps pulley in the previous pic you can kind of see what I'm talking about.Screenshot_20190805-205906_Gallery.jpg
