[QUOTE="srdigital, post: 16533932, member: 193457"] no chirp with the belt off. used a stethoscope on all of the idler bolts, blower snout, tensioner, alternator etc. and wasn't able to hear the noise through it. the aux idler had gunked up a bit in only 30 miles or so, i took it off and cleaned it up. tried again with the belt back on but without the aux idler and it still chirped but much less. it's way worse at max tension. i'm using a gates micro-v, tried 2 different sizes, both brand new belts and they squeaked the same. goodyear gatorbacks aren't around anymore, is a green stripe still recommended? visually, the belt looks like it might be ever so slightly justified towards the back of the alternator pulley. maybe the alternator is too far forward. i've heard mention of that before, i'll do some research on it. if memory serves, i'll need to file down a bit of the rear boss of the alternator and use a shim in the front. thanks for the help, y'all.
