Squealing belt, tensioner bad??

[old_blue]

I didnt really notice it at first but after I put on my a/c delete pulley the belt seems to squeal quite a bit. Then the clutch went out on the fan and it squealed like crazy. I put a new fan clutch on and it still does it. I was thinking of buying the march tensioner from summit but I am not sure this will fix my problem. I prolly will mostly b/c it looks better too . thanks in advance.

when you have the belt off, have you checked that all the pullies spin freely? also, since you just played with the pullies, i would make sure that they are all in very very close alignment - if one is cocked a little, it will make some noise.
good luck.

Hmm, i didnt think about that, I will check the alignment tonite. thanks

it could be the bearings talking to you, my tensioner siezed up and it was squealing, just like my smog pump....
