Are there bearings in the pulley to make it have a churping noise? Mine does it when its cold then after it warms up good its fine. If I replace it can I just replace the pulley or is it the whole assembly thats got to be replaced? Is there a how to take off and put on anywhere that I could look at and read? Also this is on a 2000 SS that is bone stock.

I could just be the belt. You can buy some 'belt dressing' & spray that on to see if it goes away.
But yes, ther are bearings in it. You can buy a pretty replacement from MBA. I think Thunder sells them too. Very easy to replace. Email me & I'll type you up the instructions.

Remove the belt.
I can't remember if it's a 13mm or 15mm socket to remove the pulley. It basically just screws onto the block.
Takes 5 min to swap out.

Are you talking about the whole assembly or just the pulley? Can I just buy a new pulley and not the whole thing? Does anyone know of any part numbers for just the tensioner pulley ( not the assembly ) for a 2000 SS?

Thanks but trying to find out if I can just replace the pulley without buying the whole assembly. Part numbers would be great if anyone knows what just the pulley part number would be.
