Question i have this annoying squeeling noise comming from either the drive belt or the tensioner and i was woundering if a regular 2.5 tensioner is the same as the one on my 98 svt??? Also does anyone know where to buy one i'd really like to buy one new but what do you guys think about a used one???

let me know

thanks

It could be the belt. I bought a duralast piece of junk from Autozone and it didn't last 100 miles before it started yelling and screaching at me. Replaced with one from Bill J and its happy ever since. I swear I'm never gonna buy another Duralapieceofjunk again. Anyway, you didn't post this to hear me rant so I couldn't tell ya much about the tensioner but theres a good chance its the belt too.
