better and quieter pulleys?? is there such a thing for replacement? iv got a squeal that sounds like a bad pulley but cant find the culprit. iv changed the tensioner pulley removed the ac belt put a long screwdriver to each pulley and none sound bad. while im messing with the pulleys i thought there might be better and quieter pulleys out there.

recently, no. i changed it around November last year when i got a new water pump. ill take it off and see if the squeak goes away.
but is there a chance there might be quieter pulleys? when i had my magnaflow exhaust i could hear the belt spinning (no sqeak just spinning) over the exhaust.

That squeal could be the belt slipping. Ive had a few on my truck like that. Over time i guess they stretch and start to slip causing a horrible squealing noise. +1 on the goodyear gatorback belts, they are the only belt i will buy now.

I doubt the belt stretched in less than 2k miles. Could have tho. I'm just going to pull the alt and idler to regrease them. Only 2 pulleys I haven't messed with other than wd40 on them.

belt squealing is caused by bad idler, bad tensioner (puller/whole thing causing belt to slip), power steering puller, alternator pulley. your a/c pulley isnt gonna squeel. if it goes bad it will lock up and you will know it

I'm leaning towards my alt. it's a rebuilt autozone one and it has chirped in the cold since I got it went away now I think it's coming back 24/7 now.
