Squeal from hell
Squeal from hell Ive had this mystery noise for a while, and have replaced the belt, tensioner, water pump, tstat. After I swapped out the tensioner yesterday (first one was defective) i have this insane squealing noise. Sounds like its coming from the crank pulley. Im about to lose my mind with all these mystery noises, someone please give me some advice, thanks.
Thanks, I know theres another belt but im pretty sure its not any of those.
I think ive narrowed it down to the crank balancer, and its either the pulley or the bolt. Another member on here was gonna help me take a look at it tomorrow, im really hoping its just the bolt.

A crank pulley will not cause noise. It has no bearings, it is attached to your crankshaft. (well I guess you can consider crankshaft bearings; bearings 
)If it is the crank making noise you have much bigger problems then belt or pulley noise.

Verdad Gallardo Ended up just being the ac belt. That noise was really loud for something so simple, but the belt did look really beat up. I do have a weird noise coming from the ac vents when the ac is turned on now, sounds almost like a "fluttering", cant really describe it. But the that loud squeal is gone, so im happy. Thanks guys
