I have a 2000 T/A M6, stock pulley's. When it rains the engine squels or squeks (which ever you prefer). I have replaced the main drive belt, a/c belt, and the main belt tensioner. However, the squel is still there, only when it rains and a few hours after the rain. Any thoughts? Thanks!

When you had the belts off did you turn all the pullies by hand to feel for any rough moveing one's. You could also try taking the a/c belt off drive aroud without it to help isolate your problem.

No, I didn't test the pulley's for rough spots. I just odd to me that it only does it when it rains. I will try to make time to remove the a/c belt before the next rain day. Thanks.

My SS had a similar problem with the annoying belt squeal. I got a new belt an updated design pully and bracket assms from the local GM dealer. After i installed the stuff the noise went away for good.

FWIW heres the part #s i got:

12563326 for the pully
12563327 for the bracket
12562626 belt assm.

Hope this helps-

Thanks guys! I will give the new tensioner a try first. If that doesn't work, then a new pully and bracket. Also, I may have narrowed it down to the A/C Tensioner. I used the A/C yesterday and while the A/C was running the squeling was there. Thanks again!

Did you remove the water shield from underneath the vehicle? It's a black rubber flap on the alternator side. That not being there or not being on correctly will allow additional water to get on your belts.
