More concerned about how well it pivots..... was it sticky, or gritty feeling at all when you removed the belt?

My squeal is caused by the front drive shaft. if you have problems with wacky vents that could do it.

NO wacky vents on my truck, and im 100% its coming from the serp belt area. Kinda guessing i have a pulley that went **** up.
