thanks jimmy,im gonna try a new idler.if that don't work,then im almost positive its the AC pulley bearing..
lol,or maybe I should get it fixed up and trade it off on a hemi,but,i will say,with the new cam I put in,this 360 is pretty bad @ss!!

I had similar problems with a couple different belts, the squeak would stop for a while then come back. It sounded exactly like that too. What ended up fixing it was a Goodyear Gatorback belt. I'm not sure if the ribbed pattern of it helped, or if it being a bit shorter than the other belts did (more tension on it), but either way it hasn't made a sound in well over a year.

I've had the same issue went through it replacing parts over and over again; new belt solved it for a little bit but then came back; even a gator back;the Gator back that helped mine out too i thought for a short while.. but always was futile... i replaced the idler too and still had the issue; only when its cool; or very 'moist'... usually.. if the humidity is low then not so much or very hott.. usually mine takes a moment but the issue is the tensioner pulley it self.. is where i tracked it down from.. take a little WD40 and spray right on the back of the shaft carefully not to spray on the belt or your coil or anything else; very little it should quiet up a little to confirm its your issue.. or you can use a mechanics stethoscope as well... either way..
the bearings are not sealed well; moister gets in there and causes either a little rust or just dry in general from the moisture. i put a dayco (Supposed to be best aftermarket) on mine 3 of them and still does it.. Lulz i wont do that again..
would advise getting a dealer one on this one i think they are sealed better and wont happen as much.. unless someone has other suggestions. i have still yet to fix mine.. I'm in Texas so its not as often i hear this once things start to warm up.
