tensioner pulley
tensioner pulley well ive had it with a sqeaking noise that is cumming from my engine bay. i replaced the the idler pulley and new belts. so i took it to the dealer for answers and they say its the belt tensioner, they wanted $300 to fix it. so i decided to fix it myself. my question is where do i get the part, i looked on gmpartsdirect.com but did not find it please help me out.

i already tried the grease no fixing it, see my problem is the noise is real loud when the a/c is on i think it is the a/c compressor but they said its the belt tensioner so im at a lost on what it is.

Just go to the counter or call a parts guy on the phone to get the part number.
I got a belt tensioner pulley and an idler pulley at Advance Auto Parts for about $15 each. Remove and replaced both in less than half an hour. I replaced just my idler pulley and it did the job. Still have the tensioner pulley set aside for when I need it, if I need it.

There are two tensioners on our cars. If you think it is coming from the ac compressor than it might be the lower tensioner down there (ac compressor accessory belt).
Just a thought. You can definately hear the difference if it was coming from the top tensioner (main tensioner serp. belt)

The AC belt tensioner is the MOST common to go out on these cars and very common on the trucks also.
