Great! mad Sounds like something I will have to replace soon. Mine is making the same noise, only mine sounds like it is the top idler. I JUST replaced the alt and put a new belt on it. NO FUN. I will probably just start with the idler and then the tensioner (same day). If it isn't fixed, I will post some "real ticked" post (LOLOLOL) up in here cause probably the next pulley (one in the same general area) is the water pump!

If that be the case, anyone feel the need to join me? When I did the alternator, I already threatened to find a blow torch and make a major modification to the fender well....Just kidding.......or maybe not......
