Default funny noise(well its not really that funny)

When my engines cold, and i start it up, everytime i do that, it makes a funny sound like a tensioner or somthing, you know like squeeky from under the hood, it kinda sounds like belts or the tensioner noise, but it only does it cold, once it warms up it goes away. What do you think it is?

most likely the ac tensioner pully, either get a new one but it would be better to take it appart and grease it like i did.

I got the same problem. Did you ever find out what it was?

If it jingles too it could be your alternator. Mine did, and when I had everything apart I checked it out and the front bearing was bad. 34k miles. I love GM!
