squealing a/c belt question I've been going through thw threads for over an hour and have decided to start my own. Okay...in the last year I've changed the ac belt twice. With New belt, its quiet for like a month or 2. Then squeal! Replaced an idler..same thing. When I spray that belt dressing junk on it, it gets quiet for about 30 seconds the slowly comes back. The tensioner feels pretty tight, but perhaps not tight enough? Or am I just getting garbage belts? Seen ppl say sumthing about those gatorback belts. Just figured id ask before I go ordering a new tensioner....thanks

Yeah I put the new pully on the tensioner, squealed. Then swapped it to the other pulley. Still squealed. N the pulleys all seemed to spin fine without noise when I spun them myself w/out the belt on. Tensioner wasnt pullin back that strong so mabe its not tight enough. N it squeaks more in the rain
