I have done searches, but have not found a definitive answer for my problem. It seemed like some guys with upper pulleys and lower aluminum pulleys were having the same problem I am.
I have a 2.59" upper pulley, 90mm idler, tune, etc. I do NOT have a lower pulley.
Lately, I have been hearing a chirping noise at idle and almost a squealing noise when switching gears when the engine is not fully warm and when it's cool or cold outside. The pulley and idler have been installed for almost 5k miles and the noise just started lately. I bought a stethoscope and tried to pinpoint the noise, but could not. :bored:
Is the belt slipping? I was thinking it was the tensioner, but since I can't pinpoint the problem, it has to be the belt???
Will a Thumpp tensioner fix my issue? Or changing the spring in the stock tensioner?
