Usually just the pulley in question.
Also count how many grooves are on the belt.






And no one caught the fact that I used a GM motor for my reference pic?

 

Hey thanks to those who replied. I checked my belt and it is a 7 rib. I then went to advance and purchased a new idler pulley. Slapped it on and started it up and chipmunks started talking, could not believe it. So I took the belt back off checked the water pump bearings best I could and they had no play. I then tightened the bolt in the idler pulley another 1/4 to 1/2 turn and put the belt back on. So far no chipmunks!!!!!
I guess my only question still would be is how many ft/lbs is the idler pulley bolt supposed to be tightened to?

 

So I drove the truck to work today (due to flooding everywhere) and what did I hear but some light chirping when under acceleration. No where near as bad as it was prior to changing the idler pulley but it is still there just quieter. I guess I am going to tighten the bolt a little more and see if that helps again. Does anyone know how much torque I should use when tightening the idler pulley bolt. If so let me know!!

 

Can I spamz herez?
