Default pulley chirp

Which pulley is it that makes the cricket sound. My car just started making this sound today, and is there anyway to fix it.

Try changing your AC belt. Mine was doing the same thing and that fixed it.

Ok, this chirp is pissing me off. Do I have to replace this stupid pulley, or is there an alternative means.

First..
Try a new belt.. both AC and Serpentine
If that doesn't solve the problem.. it may be time for a Katech tensioner..

Try Thunderracing..

like i said before its probably the tensioner ...

look at your tensioner and you should see that it is actualy 2 halves seperated by rubber ..... notice the gap between the 2 pieces and make sure that the gap is the same all the way around .... if it sits crooked and you can grab it and rock it back and forth from front to rear of car then its worn out ... look at the underside of the belt where it goes around a pulley and check for small cracks on the ribs, if you see them put a new belt on
