Default Accessory Pully / Altenator noise

I have some like clicking noises... very evident fron the front. pretty loud, though it was like a valve noise until I noticed it was coming from what seemed to be the altenator or one of the accessory pulleys. If it's raining or damp out they squeak like hell. Is this just in need of a lube or is it like a bad pulley?

Have you tried removing your belt and physicaly turning your pullies? If you suspect the alt this is a simple way to check for bearing issues.

if you suspect a pulley being bad, it wouldn't hurt to get a new one anyway, they're not that expensive and its just another thing you won't have to worry about until later down the road lol

My idler and tensioner are going bad on mine. The bearings are dried up and they cause alot of nosie. The idler is like $20, and the tensioner is only $30.
